I chose to join PASS because the employee-owned business model intrigued me. I like the idea of each person personally benefiting from the success of the company they work for. I appreciate the teamwork and responsibility each employee has for one another.

Before joining PASS this summer, I began my career in the federal government as an acquisition’s agent with NIH. Throughout college I also worked at George Washington University Hospital and interned with the Maryland House of Delegates.

Outside of work I enjoy traveling and cooking.

Michael LaFaver

Why PASS?

I’ve always enjoyed working with websites and creating new features for them, and while I didn’t study web design in college, I’ve had a lot of side projects of creating my own sites and keeping them updated. I wanted to apply for a job in the northern Virginia area that would make use of some of my degree and the skills I’d learned through my hobbies. PASS was a great fit for the experience I had and the lifestyle I was ready to have coming out of college, and the best part – its president was an old friend of my mom’s!

About Me

I grew up in Delaware and West Virginia before coming to Virginia for my four years of college. I graduated from Liberty University with a degree in Computer Engineering and a minor in Vocal Performance. Prior to my hiring at PASS in the fall of 2024, I was planning on going to graduate school for a music-related degree, but my plans fell through and I decided to enter the workforce instead. I’m now working remotely from Liberty, South Carolina.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my southern family and challenging myself with difficult video games on the side.

Kim Jacobson

Why PASS?

Midway through my career, I returned to school to improve my computer programming and web development skills. My instructor at the time was also a PASS employee and he recruited me for an intern-to-hire position at PASS. What started out as a great learning opportunity working side-by-side with two very talented developers turned into a rewarding and challenging career that has lasted nearly 20 years.

About Me

I grew up in the Maryland suburbs outside of Washington, D.C. I received a bachelor’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a master’s degree from Johns Hopkins University.

Prior to joining PASS, my area of focus was healthcare. I spent several years working in public health for the federal government, then pivoted my focus after graduate school to healthcare management consulting and hospital administration. One constant that has followed me throughout my professional life is my interest in computer programming and data analysis.

Outside of work, I am passionate about the arts. While I enjoy creating my own artwork, I am mostly just a spectator. I love touring art museums and galleries, attending theater, music, and dance performances, and watching films.
