I am Michael Jacobson. I am 6 feet and 1 inch tall. I was born in Brooklyn, but have lived in Staten Island for the past six years now. I lived in Sheepshead Bay and Flatbush before moving to Staten Island. I am 17-years-old. I love to skateboard and do street art. I spend my time at home researching things for fun. My plans are to be either a forensic scientist or a fire fighter. I live in Bulls Head, but I am in foster care so nothing’s permanent. I was in the 2010 Staten Island film festival for the graffiti documentary.
