Bryan Jacobs was originally born in Virginia, USA. Even as a child, he lived a very different lifestyle than his peers. He say's, "Around the age of 8 food found me and it wasn’t by accident my grandfather happened to be a Chef, a German chef at that who served in the Navy during WWII."
After returning from two tours of duty in Iraq with the Marine Corps, Bryan fell victim to PTSD and the emotional hardships of fitting in back home. After a stint with homelessness and the the numerous other rigors faced while adjusting to civilian life, Bryan found his calling-the Culinary Arts. He was able to gather the courage to go to culinary school, where his military training paid dividends. His aptitudes & attitude earned him several opportunities to work with some of the best chefs in the United States. Soon, he found himself as the private chef to the Anheuser Busch family while attending school at USF-Saraota/Manatee, where eventually he'd earn his bachelors degree in hospitality business.
Bryan's life took a turn in May 2014, when he lost his younger brother to Veteran Suicide. That day changed his life forever. He started a program to make a difference in the lives of his brothers and sisters who wore the uniform, wanting to give them something more than just a hand out. After he studied abroad in France, Bryan returend to America to build Vets2Success, a nonprofit dedicated to changing the lives of veterans through food and brew.
