My Story
I am a full-time Firefighter with a department south of Indianapolis. I have a wife and two dogs and we love travel! I have traveled to 26 United States and over 10 countries with plenty more on the way!
My Travel Style
As a full-time firefighter, I am dedicated to service, preparedness, and high-pressure response. This professional foundation fuels my passion for global exploration, as both roles share fundamental traits:
• Adaptability & Resilience: Just as I must be prepared for any emergency, I seek out travel that challenges me, favoring destinations with stunning mountain views and optimal hiking weather that demand physical and mental resilience.
• Cultural Exchange: My work relies on connecting with the local community, and my travel centers on fostering meaningful connections with people from diverse backgrounds across the globe.
My extensive travel portfolio reflects this drive for both adventure and structure, spanning Europe (Italy, Switzerland, Iceland, Greece, and celebratory trips to Germany for Oktoberfest and Ireland for St. Patrick’s Day) and comprehensive exploration of the US West and Mountain States (Oregon, Colorado, Arizona, Yellowstone National Park, Tennessee, and Kentucky).

From the moment we started planning, our Fireside went above and beyond to make our trip perfect. He handled all the logistics for our cruise effortlessly, communicated clearly, and checked in every step of the way. The surprise gift in our cabin was such a sweet and personal touch that made us feel genuinely appreciated as clients. We will absolutely be booking with Fireside again!

Booking with Jacob is literally a breeze. Not only does he find the best deals but he makes the experience stress free.
Jacob looks for the small unique nuances that I feel a larger company isn't concerned about and tailors your trip to your interests and your desires.
He is very attentive, checking in throughout making sure their isn't any needs to be addressed. He went as far as to even wish us a good time prior to leaving.
10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND for all your travel needs!

Jacob was very helpful in providing local recommendations as well as helping us to compare several different options when booking our St. Louis trip. He has traveled to many different destinations including St. Louis so it was obvious that not only is he well-researched, he has also personally experienced many of the places he suggested. This really made us feel like we could trust his recommendations, and we were not disappointed. We'll be using Jacob to help us plan all of our future trips.

Fireside Destinations was great to work with! Jacob listened to my needs and found lodging that was both comfortable and affordable. He was able to do better on the price than if I booked it myself. Communication with Jacob was seamless from beginning to end. I wouldn’t hesitate to have him book future trips for myself or family!
