Jacob H. Marquez has a comparable curiosity for both creativity and technology. He spent the past 10 years of his professional career building data systems for Microsoft and AI startups. Along the way, he found joy in creating and performing alternative hip hop music as the artist, J. Henry. He is the founder of Seattle’s Best Brunch – an interview series focused on elevating and celebrating local artists. Outside of all that, mentoring the youth, in both worlds, is his way of giving back to the community.

He is a morning person, excited for Mondays, and loves the rain.
