About Me
Hello! I'm Jacob.
I graduated in May 2023 from Michigan State University, where I covered hockey for four years. In that time, I've written for Impact 89FM, WKAR, The Hockey Writers and more. I also served as both president and social media manager for my fraternity, Tau Kappa Epsilon.
I've always had a passion for storytelling, especially through hockey. Whether it's through long-form articles or social media content, I'm always looking to reach people in a new, creative way.
I finished my internship with the St. Louis Blues in April, but I'm excited for what comes next! Feel free to contact me with any questions.
