Jacob has been with the company since 2006. He received a bachelor’s degree in business management from Kent State University and worked extensively in that region as an outside salesperson while still in college. During that time, he was able to get a full scope of how the business works, including international business within the European market. After college, he started in the warehouse and worked his way up to national sales manager where he worked with distributors, contractors and specifiers. In 2022, he was elected to the board of directors. In his current role, Jacob is responsible for product development, sales growth, customer retention and portfolio management.
Outside of work, Jacob is a volunteer firefighter and EMT. In his spare time, he enjoys time outdoors, drag racing motorcycles and traveling the world.
I really like the products we purchase from Marathon. They are always helpful and much nicer to deal with than my previous manufactures.
