About Jacob

Jacob Cohn has been making and creating things since the beginning. He grew up in Bern, Switzerland where he gained an appreciation for history and quality craftsmanship, both of which still influence his work today. After moving to the Seattle area, he spent years teaching a kid's robotics program professionally, as well as volunteering as a mentor for a high school robotics team.
