About
Meet Jacob
Jacob was born on April 23, 2007 in Middletown, New York. He started skating at 5 years old as he wanted to be a hockey player. He tried hockey skates, but couldn’t stand up with them. So it was recommended to try figure skates. Jacob was able to glide around and stand after a few tries.
Jacob trains with coaches Oleg Makarov, Larisa Seleznava, Patch David at the Ice Time Sports Complex, Newburgh, New York. He represents the Hudson Valley Figure Skating Club.
Jacob is the 2024-2025 Junior Grand Prix Final Champion. He represented the U.S. at the 2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games, where he won a team event silver medal and finished 4th in the individual event. He made his senior debut during the 2024-2025 season where he finished 7th at the U.S. Championships and won gold at Tallinn Trophy, his first Challenger Series gold medal.
When he’s not skating, Jacob enjoys hockey, listening to music, soccer, football, video games and hanging out with friends.
