About Jacob J

Born in the mountain town of Clancy, Montana, Jacob developed a love for the great outdoors and the freedom it brings. He found his passion for photography in 2011 and invested in his first camera. This led him to the snow-capped peaks of Colorado where he honed his skills as a photographer in the snow sports industry. Over the years, his love for both mountains and photography grew stronger as he explored new destinations and met amazing people. In 2021, Jacob returned to Montana and has established himself as a reputable photographer, working with some of the leading brands in the outdoor industry.

Since the early days of Weston, Jacob has played a key role in the growth and development of the company as a premiere backcountry brand in the winter sports industry. His determined work ethic, keen eye for quality and detail, and particularly strong skill set for on-snow action photography has driven Weston’s media and content generation to compete and stand out in the same realm as some of the top ski and snowboard brands in the industry. Friendly, laid back and a pleasure to work with, Jacob would make a strong asset to any team or creative endeavor - especially in the great outdoors!
