Jacob Capaul
Coeur D'Alene,ID
Summary
I was born in 1985 with 2 younger brothers to follow. We grew up working on our own vehicles, doing general construction and were heavily involved in team sports. I am an avid hunter and outdoorsman. I dreamed of being a fireman from a young age, and succeeded in that when I was 19. I was subsequently injured on the job and I was forced to early retirement when I was 25, due to a lower back injury. I thrive in team environments, I am goal driven, and self motivated.
