Jacob Warren was born in Fairbanks, Alaska where he spent his early years living with Inuit in the wilderness. They trained him on snow fishing and soapstone carving. After many harsh winters, he hopped trains all over the Pacific Northwest and finally settled down in the Bay Area. He began working for a carnival game company as a Facilities and Games Intern under the deaf albino, the Great Dr. Zahara, before finding a home at Ex’pression College.
