Declassified Prep is led by Jacob Mack, a former U.S. Army interrogator, intelligence collector, and federal special investigator with more than a decade of experience in high-stakes communication.

During his military and federal career, Jacob was trained to ask precise questions, read subtle behavioral cues, and navigate conversations where outcomes carried real consequences. His work demanded more than confidence—it required control, discipline, and the ability to perform under pressure in unpredictable environments.

After serving multiple tours in Afghanistan and working within the U.S. Intelligence Community, Jacob transitioned those skills into a structured coaching system designed to help students and professionals succeed in one of the most critical—and often underestimated—environments: the interview room.

Unlike traditional coaching programs that rely on memorized answers, Jacob focuses on how people actually communicate under pressure—body language, tone, timing, word choice, and the ability to think clearly in real time. His approach teaches clients how to understand what interviewers are evaluating, respond with intention, and present themselves with credibility and composure.

Today Jacob works with students, applicants, and professionals preparing for college admissions, competitive programs, job interviews, and high-stakes conversations—helping them walk in prepared, communicate with purpose, and leave a lasting impression.
