Jacob is originally from Berkeley, CA and has lived in Southern Oregon and New York, and moved to Portland in 2020. He holds a B.A. in Critical Theory and Social Justice from Occidental College. Jacob has taught yoga for the past five years, and there is a lot of overlap in the philosophies of yoga and Montessori. He is excited to contribute to a positive atmosphere for the students, and to connect with and learn from everyone in the community.

In his free time he enjoys practicing yoga and meditation, reading, playing music, hearing live music, being with his dog, hiking, camping, cooking, and eating good food (occasionally the last two overlap).
