Associate of the Month

Jacob grew up in Palm Beach County Florida, where he studied architectural drafting and design in high school, but decided to follow his passion for the culinary industry and went on to graduate from Florida Culinary Institute. He spent many years growing his skills at country clubs and golf resorts along the south east coast following his graduation. As his family grew, he decided to switch careers to spend time with his family, and started a custom window treatment installation company, specializing in custom woodworking and handyman repairs. In 2020, he returned to the culinary field after moving to South Carolina.
In his free time, Jacob enjoys sharing music, playing retro video games, and passing on his cooking skills with his 16 year old son, and building legos, dancing, reading, and drawing comic books with his 8 year old daughter
He feels grateful to his friend Abby, who introduced him to Oakview. Starting his day preparing breakfast for all the warm smiles from the residents has made his heart happy again. He looks forward to each day he gets to put his skills to use to make each meal memorable, and eager to see what his future at Oakview holds.
