Speaking is something I truly enjoy and I believe it shows. I've spoken to groups of less than ten up to a few hundred (and that when I was 19).

Most of my speaking opportunities have come from my involvement in Youth Ministry, but I've also spoken at NTEN and for the client and creative service teams at Masterworks.

Reactions from Participants

“Jacob is an exceptional new media / online media presenter and trainer. His ability to communicate complex topics in non-tech speak, as well as his use of humor creates an engaging environment that is enjoyable and effective at delivering the key messages. What's more, his ability to identify with the audience's needs ensures that his presentations are well targeted and well timed.” Tim, Masterworks
“Very informative, Youth work for me has been frustrating within the past few months and I was wondering if this is my call. This session put me back into knowing this is my call.” Lauri, Gathering in the East
“You f---ing rock.” Sara, NTEN
“This is one of the best, most fun and useful things I've done lately.” Lynda, Gathering in the East
“Jake has an authentic style, blending humor and candor that make his presentations really pop!” Charlie, Youth Ministry Certification School
