After graduating with his doctorate in chiropractic in 2018, Jacob decided to take his career in an unorthodox direction by moving away from his home in the USA to start a practice in Lima, Peru. The 5 years that he spent in Peru would prove to be an invaluable pressure chamber of experience that would force him to constantly learn and grow within his profession. Jacob also credits his time in Peru for instilling within him the work ethic and motivation necessary to offer a nuanced, personalised, and evidence-based approach with all his patients. Beyond this, Peru would also be the place where Jacob would discover pole dancing.

Amid the pandemic, Jacob found solace in pole dancing as a means of restoring his physical, mental, emotional, and social well-being. Jacob openly discusses the positive impact pole dancing has had on his own life, often attributing his first pole class as one of the best decisions he has ever made. It wasn’t long after this first pole class that Jacob began offering his services to support his local pole community. By 2022, Jacob decided to take this a step further when he got the opportunity to join The Pole Physio team and begin working exclusively with the pole dance and aerialist community.

In 2023, Jacob retired from his practice in Peru to accommodate his expanding online clientele. He now resides in back in the US where he also has taken up a position pursuing another one of his passions, higher education. In addition to his work with the pole and aerialist community, Jacob is also currently a teacher at a local university where he teaches clinical biomechanics and the importance of evidence-based musculoskeletal care to future generations of healthcare providers.
