Employee Spotlight: Jacob Pohrebny
This week, we’re excited to shine the spotlight on one of our Health Technicians, Jacob Pohrebny—someone who brings energy, humor, and dedication to both his personal and professional life. Let’s take a moment to get to know Jacob a little better!
Life Outside the Office
When he’s not at work, Jacob stays active and inspired. You might catch him throwing jabs at American Gym alongside his good friend and former double World Champion, Alejandro “Alex” Perez – no big deal, right? He also loves cycling along the beach path, whether it’s heading to The Wedge or to the pier to enjoy some people-watching.
Jacob takes pride in his South Side Chicago roots (yes, he’s a real Sox fan, not a suburbs transplant). Fun fact: thin-crust pizza is the real Chicago food, and deep dish? “That’s for tourists,” he says. He’s also passionate about his favorite teams—the Bears, Blackhawks, and Bulls. And when it comes to a competitive spirit, Jacob claims to be the best bags player (or "cornhole" if you’re not from Chicago) you’ll ever meet.
Dream Destinations
Jacob’s travel goals reflect his love for adventure and inspiration. Top on his bucket list is watching the F1 Grand Prix in Monaco. He’s also drawn to Vietnam, inspired by the late Anthony Bourdain, whose stories sparked Jacob’s own passion for seeing the world.
What Inspires Jacob
When asked what keeps him motivated, Jacob doesn’t hesitate: his dad, Philip. At almost 70 years old, Philip has worked six days a week for as long as Jacob can remember, never complaining once.
Describing his dad, Jacob shares, “He’s level-headed but never afraid to speak his mind. He’s brutally honest but has a heart that can fill a room.” It’s clear that Philip’s work ethic and character are a constant source of inspiration for Jacob, helping to shape who he is today.
Living Our Core Values
Jacob’s story is a great reflection of our company’s core values. His dedication, authenticity, and drive for personal growth align perfectly with our culture. Through every challenge, Jacob brings the same determination he learned from his father, fostering trust and inspiring success in the workplace.
We’re grateful to have someone like Jacob on our team, someone who not only exemplifies our values but brings a unique energy and perspective to everything he does. If you ever want to hear a great story, talk about travel, or see some bags skills in action, Jacob is your guy!
