Jacob joined the team in November 2024 after graduating from Loughborough University with a first-class degree in Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence. During his time at university, he was an active member of the sailing and windsurfing team, helping to organize large inter-university events.

Since moving to Southampton, Jacob has fully embraced life by the water. He now has all his own kit and can often be found sailing or windsurfing along the coastline whenever the wind picks up. He is also a qualified sailing dinghy instructor and enjoys sharing his passion for the sport with others.

Outside of sailing, Jacob is an avid freediver, always pushing himself to dive deeper with a personal goal of reaching 50 meters. He is also passionate about fitness and the gym, and has been developing a personal AI project designed to help educate and give players a competitive advantage in a strategy game.
