Jacob is a versatile performance artist with a rich background in theater and a passion for innovative live experiences. Jacob's adventures have taken him from New York City, where he helped to launch a vintage French theme park on Governors Island, to Los Angeles, where he helped develop a season of Shakespeare in the Park. In Hawaii, he coordinated a three-week film project, and in Las Vegas, he led prohibition history tours and moonshine tastings at the Mob Museum. 

The pandemic prompted Jacob to reevaluate his goals and return to the East Coast, where he was captivated by Burlington’s stunning scenery and vibrant arts community. Drawn to circus and aerial dance, Jacob has since immersed himself in these art forms, honing his aerial and clowning skills and leading workshops for kids in clowning and stage presence.
