Jacob has been singing Jewish songs at least since 3rd grade, when he traveled to the White House to sing Hanukkah songs to the Clintons. His first a cappella experience was in senior year, when he sang a parody of several John Williams songs. In other areas, Jacob likes math, computer science, and pi(e). He also enjoys obsessing over such trivial issues as how this biography sounds stunningly repetitive. (It uses forms of the word "song" seven times!)
