Jacob is an occupational therapist with a passion for treating the upper extremity. Utilizing a patient-centered approach, Jacob enjoys collaborating with his patients to help them get back to what is meaningful in their lives. His interest in hand therapy was originally sparked while getting his Master's at Washington University St. Louis, when he worked at a student-led hand therapy clinic. His experience has taught him that every patient is unique, and he believes in treating each patient as an individual and finding the best treatment plan for their needs. Jacob's care incorporates a variety of skills, such as fabrication of orthoses, manual therapy, taping techniques, and exercises.
Outside of work, Jacob likes to weightlift, play video games, watch/play hockey, and spend time with his wife and dog.
