About Jacob Hanan

I started my professional journey in the tech industry as a Vendor for Microsoft, where I gained valuable experience in business operations and project management. My role as an Outreach Specialist allowed me to develop strong skills in Microsoft Word, Media Production, Social Media, Microsoft PowerPoint, project management and Public Speaking. My background in technology, combined with a Bachelor’s Degree focused in Communication and Media Studies from the University of Washington Bothell, has given me a solid foundation in operations and a keen understanding of the information technology and services industry. During my time as contractor for Microsoft also would coach after work late into the night coaching basketball, baseball, working with AAU and School teams across puget sound all year in my off time.After 5 years of working on various Microsoft projects, I realized that something was missing from my life as I wasnt fully happy. I decided to follow my passion for teaching, coaching, and sports.I am now dedicated to my new career as a PE Teacher and Athletic Administrator. With 13 years of experience in sports program development and coaching, both interscholastically and at various programs, I have a proven ability to foster successful teams and develop positive team cultures.
