With a HBSc. in Kinesiology and over a decade of experience working with clients looking to improve at their sport, recover from injury/manage pain, or drop 10-20lb, Jacob has made it his mission to educate and assist clients in accomplishing their goals and achieving a pain-free life.
Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Jacob has dabbled in various sports over the course of his life, ranging from soccer, football, track and field, to Olympic weightlifting, and powerlifting.
