Jacob Harkins
VP of Global Marketing
A New England transplant, Jacob has called Colorado home since ’98 when he moved west to attend the University of Colorado-Boulder. Following an award-winning career in journalism, he transitioned to the ad agency world, simultaneously earning his sommelier certification and becoming an advocate for Colorado wine (naturally, his modest 100-bottle wine closet features several Grand Valley, Colorado, selections resting on VintageView racks). Jacob is also an avid skier and backpacker, who thru-hiked more than 1,400 miles of the Appalachian Trail and is working his way toward climbing Colorado’s 54 14ers.
