In this Special Edition of the Dream Again Podcast, hosts Brandon Smith and Stephen Resset have the opportunity to visit with Missoula Mayoral Candidate, Jacob Elder.
As a child, Jacob fled a civil war in his native country, Liberia, and settled in Montana. In Montana, life was slower, more prosperous, and a bit colder, but filled with good people, hope, and opportunity. In the wake of graduating high school, he began his freshman year at the University of Montana as a football student-athlete. After two years in college, he knew he wanted to serve the country that had given him so much.
Jacob spent the accompanying four years in the United States Marine Corps. He traveled the world and excelled to the rank of Sergeant of Marines. His time in the Marines brought duty and discipline into his life, and by the time his contract was fulfilled, it left him feeling a call to another kind of service – service to his community.
