Jacob has a strong sense of God’s calling to minister in the Waterloo Region. He loves the people of the Tri-Cities and he longs to see God use Harvest Bible Chapel Waterloo Region as an epicenter for church-planting and church-revitalization.
Born and raised in Guelph, Jacob has served in various capacities among churches in Ontario, helped plant a church in southern Indiana, and pastored a church in central Kentucky. He holds a Bachelor of Religious Studies degree from Heritage College in Cambridge, Ontario, and a Master of Divinity from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky. In April of 2009 Jacob graduated from the Harvest Training Center.
Jacob married his high school sweetheart, Joanna, and together they are expecting their 5th child.
