About Myself
I am currently employed as a Technical Director for a television broadcast company that mostly does coverage of live sports events and races. I also work on the occasional freelance project in a variety of web and multimedia areas (provided there is no conflict of interest). I have managed social media campaigns for large companies including specialty television channels and Thomson Reuters. I have also helped coordinate the Canadian portion of large international marketing campaigns through live video streaming, public events, and social media.
I have many years of web experience working on development, SEO, social media and content creation. I also have broadcast television video production experience, radio production experience, and I compose, mix and master music.
Please have a look around my site and view some of the many examples of projects.

My experience with Jacob was overall very positive. In his role as Product Sales Specialist‐ Synth/DJ, Jacob was very efficient, organized, effective, and was always willing to lend a hand and take on additional responsibility as needed. He was a proficient leader, and often took on leadership roles for marketing projects. With his co‐workers, Jacob was friendly, had a great sense of humor, and was always willing to help others out whenever possible.
Jacob was a highly‐valued member of the Roland Canada team, and I’m confident that Jacob will meet and exceed the expectations of any role that he undertakes in the future.

Jacob has a variety of content skills, from strategy through execution. He is able to satisfy what is needed to satisfy our audiences and the company and manage his team to deliver targeted results. His experience shooting and editing video has been a great asset to the company as it facilitates coverage of live events such as trade shows and fishing tournaments, while eliminating the need to call in freelance resources. Jacob sweats the details through research and collaboration. He puts in extra effort to raise the quality of content he create and manages, and frequently acts as our in house photographer to support written content initiatives.
Jacob’s multimedia experience, management skills and knowledge of web programming makes him a suitable applicant for a variety of web and media relates positions. I highly recommend him.
