Jacob is one of those outstanding students who have figured out how to combine creativity and invention with work ethic and empathy. He is a fabulous team player who can easily be either leader or member. He is so mature, he is able to put his ego aside in order to get the work done very, very well. His ideas are terrific and he has the (somewhat elusive) ability to realize those ideas efficiently and with grace. He has very high technical skills combined with excellent design skills. And, he is a joy to work with. As far as I'm concerned, he is the unicorn everyone is looking for. He's a terrific addition to any team, and I hope I have the opportunity to work with him again soon.
