Jacob was born and raised in Mendenhall, Mississippi to a high school football coach and a church organist. He got a B.S. in Chemistry with Biochemistry Emphasis at the University of Southern Mississippi before joining the MD/PhD program at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. For his thesis work, he studied how empagliflozin could improve the cardiometabolic profile in a hyperandrogenemic rat model of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome under the mentorship of Dr. Licy Yanes Cardozo. In his free time, he enjoys learning about new cultures and languages, reading science fiction novels, watching movies that are so bad that they’re good, and spending time with family and friends. He is thrilled to be coming to Nashville!
