Momentum was founded to give young adults a therapeutic community where change can happen 24/7. So many years into its journey, team members like Rob Jacobs deliver each day on that promise.
As Milieu Counselor at The Creek, “I have the pleasure of working with and meeting new clients and being witness to their journey,” Rob says. “We have amazing employees and leaders who collaboratively have the same goals, and their energy is contagious. Management allows each individual the freedom to utilize their talents every single day. I appreciate the ability to learn from clients, as I hope they can learn from me as well.”

Q: What do you enjoy most about working here?
A: Seriously, all of it! I have the pleasure of working with and meeting new clients and witnessing their journey. We have exceptional employees and leaders who collaboratively have the same goals, and their energy is contagious. Management allows each individual the freedom to utilize their talents every single day. I appreciate the ability to learn from clients, as I hope they can learn from me. I knew I had found a home when I had to remind myself that I get paid to work here.
Q: Can you share a memorable moment or achievement during your time at the company?
A: I honestly don't have just one. It's so meaningful to witness clients implement a positive behavior change or smile with pride in the work they have accomplished. Having a client randomly say thank you is an incredible honor.
Q: Outside of work, what are your hobbies or interests?
A: Outside of work, I enjoy working on my own recovery. I love spending time with those I care about, like my girlfriend. I take advantage of the Wilmington area attractions such as the beach, river, and many parks. I can also binge-watch shows and sporting events on TV. I love to read, but let's be honest, I don't read as much as I would like.
Q: If you could give one piece of advice to new employees, what would it be?
A: Sounds cheesy, but be yourself. If Momentum hired you, it's more than likely because your personality and experience stand out.
