Jacob learned workers compensation from a young age from his father Keith, who founded Mark & Burkhead in 1992.
“Growing up with Keith as my dad, every night at the dinner table I would hear stories how work comp had delayed a case or refused to pay a worker while they were unable to work because of their injury. Hearing those stories really gave me the drive and ambition I have to fight for the rights of injured workers.” – Jacob
