Jacob Hashem's life journey began in the heartland of America, the state of Indiana, where his story took its first steps. However, his formative years were spent in the vibrant city of Austin, Texas, which played a significant role in shaping his personality and aspirations.
Born to a mother who is a white American air force brat and a college professor, Jacob's maternal lineage boasts a strong sense of adventure and a thirst for knowledge. His father, a middle eastern individual with a remarkable athletic background, having participated in two Olympic events (and four if coaching is taken into account),as well as being a retired banker, instilled in Jacob the importance of perseverance and strategic thinking.
Growing up, Jacob was an athletic young boy, actively participating in both football and baseball. Nevertheless, his true passion lay in the world of acting, where he could express himself freely and bring characters to life. This creative outlet has been a constant source of inspiration for him throughout his life.
Jacob's academic pursuits led him to earn a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from California State University, Northridge, followed by a degree in Radio, Television, and Film (RTVF) from the University of North Texas. These academic achievements have not only broadened his intellectual horizons but have also equipped him with the skills necessary to excel in his chosen field.
