About Jacob Knettel

I love a challenge. That\'s why I run absurdly long distances for FUN! It reminds me that difficulties can be overcome with a little bit of know-how, and a lot of determination. With any project I tackle, I find use for both my analytical and creative skills, giving me a vision for future success while being able to tackle the real challenges at hand. I\'ve utilized these skills in the areas of brand development, digital marketing optimization as well as customer experience, employee experience and workplace experiences. I love problem solving and finding unique ways to adapt the resources at hand to come to the best possible solution for both the end user and the business. I\'m eager to learn and share my knowledge and experiences with those in my circle of influence. I\'m passionate about helping others, whether that be at work, or outside of work. Work-life balance is important to me, and I cherish the time I\'m able to spend with my family, friends and the high school youth at the church I attend. I love to travel, and have been fortunate to see many countries and meet many people across the world, both for personal enrichment and to provide humanitarian aid and care to those in need. The list of hobbies I enjoy is constantly growing, but a few of my current passions include: Viticulture (growing grapes and making wine), beekeeping, mountain biking, kayaking, hiking, camping, rock climbing and of course, running those absurdly long distances.
