Early Tuesday morning Jacob’s wife gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby boy. Jacob is one of the brilliant developers behind DPD and as one of the two original founders wrote most of the code that delivers your products each and every day.

Jacob and his Son

Most of you never speak to Jacob, but thats not because he’s on vacation. As head of development for DPD he focuses on the technical aspects of the service and keeps everything running under the hood along with our newest partner, Scott. Rest assured though, if you’ve ever received a reply from me that read “One of the developers checked it out and fixed…” there’s a good chance he was the one that solved your problem.

He’s been my best friend for over 20 years and I’ve come to think of him as the brother I’ve never had. I have no doubt he will make a great father. Please join me in wishing him well while he works through his first days of being a new dad!
