Early life

Career
[edit ]In 2017, Jacobo created Jordan Loves on KPBS, a series that covers areas throughout San Diego such as the Coronado Bridge. He had previously made the web series Jordan Hates and wanted to create a show that expressed his cheerful side.[4] In 2018, Jacobo adapted a story from postal carrier Ryan Bradford into a short film called 92115 produced by Mark Atkinson.[5] By 2020, he was co-host of the podcast You're Gonna Die Alone and his play Transit Stop was selected for Old Globe Theatre's Powers New Voices Festival.[6]
Jacobo co-wrote a series called Sides with Michael Lewis Foster in 2021,[7] based on sitcoms from the 1980s and 1990s, that screened at the San Diego Latino Film Festival.[8] In 2023, filmmaker Devin Scott directed the film Long Live Xander the Great , which was loosely based on Jacobo's childhood, and with Jacobo cast as the narrator.[9] The film screened in 2024 at the GI Film Festival San Diego.[10]
