My name is Matthew Jacob, and I started in rope access in 2011. Most of my experience has been in the inspection field offshore and in refineries. I was drawn to rope access from my experience as a climber in arboriculture since 2003. What I love most about working as an instructor is the opportunity to connect with so many great people. The ability to affect so many people’s lives in a positive way, along with the capability to give back to an industry that has given me so much is a truly gratifying experience.
