Jacob began his work in behavior analysis in 2011, directly implementing behavior analytic services. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Physiology from Chico State University, a Master's in Professional Behavior Analysis from Florida Institute of Technology, and an MBA with an emphasis in Business Analytics from Saint Mary's College of California. As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and data scientist, Jacob's research sits at the intersection of behavior analysis, technology, and machine learning/artificial intelligence. Jacob is the founder of Behaviorchain LLC, where he builds technology for behavior analysts — tools designed to make research more accessible, data more actionable, and the field's growing literature easier to navigate. Outside of work, Jacob is convinced the S.F. Giants will win the World Series every year, and you can often find him at a game with his wife and young daughter.
