Jacob Wood
Transcription Specialist
A son of the Sunshine State with a deep love of American history, Jacob contributes his interest and knowledge of the 19th century to his work. After completing his Bachelor's Degree in History and Philosophy, and Master's in History at the University of South Florida, Jacob moved to Kentucky in 2017. He completed his PhD in American History from the University of Kentucky in 2023, specializing in nineteenth-century American politics. Inspired by childhood trips around the United States and near-constant re-runs of History Channel documentaries like Founding Brothers, Founding Fathers, and the Presidents, Jacob hopes to spread that same enthusiasm and passion for history to others. Staff member since 2025.
