Jacob grew up on a family farm near Glenwood, MN. Farm life was always very near and dear to him and his family. The farm operations consisted of a row crop enterprise and cattle. Jacob wrestled for the North Dakota State University Bison where he also earned a degree in business administration and agribusiness. His interest in ag business combined with a passion for farm equipment landed him with Titan Machinery while still in college. Jacob had the good fortune to start his career there, learning from some very progressive minds in the equipment industry. In 2012, Jacob and his wife ended up closer to home to work for Midwest Machinery, a local John Deere dealer. Jacob managed multiple locations for Midwest Machinery, before taking the Remarketing Manager position where he oversaw used equipment sales and asset management for Midwest Machinery. At the same time, his vision for creating a better marketplace for used equipment was put into motion with founding Machinery Scope in 2013. In 2018, the Finance Scope platform was added. It is in everyone’s best interest to create more opportunities for equipment transactions to take place and to better protect these equipment investments! Jacob’s goal is to grow a business that provides quality products and services for the equipment industry while helping to facilitate the dreams and ambitions of the Machinery Scope and Finance Scope employees and their families.

Jacob also enjoys cattle, wrestling, snowmobiling, time on the lake with his family, and NDSU Bison athletics.
