“Before I was in NESW I had no clear goals in my life and no plan to get me there. After going through the program I now have clear extraordinary set of goals in my life and know hard and smart work will get me there. I’ve learned so much and I honestly have no idea what I would be doing with my life if anything if I hadn’t joined. Thank you.”

"Met Jacob of NESW a few years ago, dude will shred your face off AND gives boards to those in need... this is exactly what skateboarding is about! I couldn't imagine anything more supportive of the culture we love."

“We are thankful to NESW for their generous contribution to our program. Not only have they donated many skateboard decks, they also directly help us serve AZ foster kids at our events. We greatly value this partnership. Supporting their buy one, give one program is a perfect way to get a new board while also giving back to the local community."

"Character is super stoked to be working with NESW over the past few years. Jacob is one of the hardest working people in the skate industry that is focused on helping others in need along with spreading his love for skateboarding. His Thanksgiving meal giveaway along with donations of skateboards to foster kids is humbling to say the least. We are glad to be part of NESW journey."

“I’ve known Jacob from NESW for about a year now and if there’s one thing I know to be true it is that he cares about the skateboarding community and will do anything to help them out.” NCSA

“Jacob loves to help foster kids, and he’s such a great skateboarder that he definitely knows what he’s doing with the skate brand NESW.”

"Jacob is one of a kind. Kind as well. He is a great kid with world wide ambitions. He has put together a network of local skateboarding business owners who help each other out with their particular trade if needed. He has built a great community in the skate world. He donates boards to the less fortunate kids to help promote an active healthy lifestyle. He is a trustworthy loyal friend. The kid is doing great things!!"
