How lovely to have an interview with Jacob. He is always a joy to watch, and a fine young man into the bargain! I was already impressed by his activities for students in special education (an article on the USFS website), but this has just made my day.

I didn’t know he trained in Lake Placid in the summer. I hope he gets the host spot for Skate America.

One can only hope!

I have been so impressed by Jacob and his growth as a skater, artistically and otherwise. He seems like such a level headed young man.

I am looking forward to the Rohene choreo as well.

I love his flow over the ice and his connection to his music ( even when it is that rather cheesy piece "Music")

His generosity of spirit towards his competitors is very heartwarming to see!

I wish him a spectacular senior season!
