Jacob is a social problem solver for hire, a Support Worker and a social entrepreneur currently focussed on growing his donut shop, DoughingNuts Donuts. He is passionate about finding solutions of change for his community and has devoted himself to use business to bring forth this change.

Jacob has two work-integrated social enterprises (WISEs), DoughingNuts Donuts and Full Spectrum Services and Supports. Both implement “Buddies in Business” with the collective goal of creating jobs for those with autism and other intellectual indifferences while working towards a united mission of creating purposeful employment and opportunities. His social enterprises will create a labour distribution company and infrastructure to provide meaningful employment pathways and business partnerships.

Jacob imagines a franchise like Jims.net, but with more social and economic value.
