About me: Have a story idea? Please contact me at jacob.baumgart@patch.com with any pitches, tips or concerns. Follow me on Twitter @jacobbaumgart to stay up-to-date with the latest Anne Arundel County and Prince George's County news. Being a lifelong Marylander gives me deep ties and a unique insight into the communities I cover. I graduated from the University of Delaware in May 2020 with a degree in media communication and minors in journalism and political science. Before joining Patch that June, I wrote for FOX Sports, The Delaware News Journal and The Philadelphia Inquirer. I also led my college newspaper, The Review, as editor-in-chief, during my senior year. I am now excited to embrace Patch and cover the communities I grew up in!
