A Navy Veteran from Arizona, Jacob is an extremely spiritual man with a faith in shamanism and non-violence. He spends his time writing, making art and music.

Legal fees to defend Jacob are estimated to be in excess of $150,000.00, if the case goes to appeal. The lawyers working with the January 6 Legal Defense Fund are providing services to Jacob at a reduced rate, because of their passion for the Constitution and concern over the treatment and abuse of Americans who were simply exercising their rights to protest. Currently we are raising money for the pre-appeal and research portion of the process and are seeking $50,000.00 to cover Jacob’s pre-appeal expenses. Please consider donating to help defend Jacob.
