Jacob Paul Nielsen

Jacob Paul Nielsen has been writing about music since 2019, when he started his blog "Unstuck In Time". Since then, he's found success freelance writing for magazines like Tape Op and Magnet. When he's not writing, he's a middle school teacher in southeast Michigan. Without a doubt, he loves his job, but what excites him most about his job is teaching students about music. Jacob weaves rock music into his classroom as much as possible with a record player in his classroom and field trips to Third Man Records and the Motown Museum. He also enjoys marathon training with his wife and spending time with their two dogs. He lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
