Born and raised in Melbourne with Italian and Spanish roots, Jacob balances modelling with a life that looks quite different away from the camera. He works in a warehouse while also playing semi-professional Australian rules football, a sport that demands much of his time, discipline and energy. Naturally athletic, Jacob is good at almost anything involving hand-eye coordination, although table tennis is a particular favourite.
Family and friends remain a big part of his life and have become some of his strongest supporters as modelling has opened up a new world around him. Cheerful, easy-going and genuinely interested in people, Jacob is also full of small surprises. One you probably wouldn’t guess from his portfolio: he loves ballroom dancing.
