Jacob Tuygun (born August 2, 1975) is a Turkish- American sports business entrepreneur, event host, philanthropist, nonprofit leader, and fashion designer, with his own brand- JT Milano.

Jacob Tuygun has extensive experience building companies abroad in Europe, as well as entities here in the United States. Well-traveled and highly educated, Jacob has worked with people from all cultural and economic backgrounds, as well as companies large and small.

Starting in 2007, Jacob worked as a FIFA Player Agent and a FIFA Match Agent. As the player agent, he had the responsibility to negotiate, advise and sign soccer players to clubs and organizations. Internationally, he worked with his network of professional clubs and other player agents. As a match agent, he organized large scale gaming events between clubs, nationally and internationally. He was responsible for coordinating the multiple organizations, teams, and also organized the broadcasting and T.V rights for various European, American and Asian teams.

Also in 2007, Jacob Tuygun founded a company called KLA Sports & Media Management to consult large companies, medium sized businesses, and entrepreneurial startups across the sports media and entertainment industries to help them expand their business footprints and company portfolios. Some of the entities the company has serviced include rights holders, professional clubs, international federations, government bodies, corporate sponsors, venues, broadcasters, and sports agencies. Then in 2009, seeing a void in the industry of quality media content creators, Jacob founded the company of KLA Media Pro to provide high quality multimedia services (broadcasting, streaming, and content creation) for venues and sports teams in the US and Europe.

In 2013, recognizing an underserved market in Dallas that provided players of all ages a route to the professional leagues, Jacob started Dallas City FC (www.dallascityfc.com), a team within the NPSL federation. In the short three to four years since its inception, the club has surpassed many other well-entrenched clubs within the organization with years of head-start. Also, the creation of the team provided real opportunities for talented players to play at a higher level than what was previously provided. To further increase the footprint of Dallas City FC within the community as an integral part of that community, Jacob Tuygun recently started to incorporate educational programs to assist the players, and player families. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dallas_City_FC

In 2014, after extensive work in the sports world, working with athletes of all types, Jacob saw a need to create a higher quality sportswear line and decided to take on the task himself. As a result, VOVE Sports Wear was born. Today, VOVE designs and sells a line of sportswear that is customizable, scalable, and affordable.

During that time, Jacob also partnered with noted sports professionals to create MPN Training, a performance and conditioning program that provides athletes of all sports measurable and sustainable progress in their respective endeavors. MPN stands for Mental, Physical, and Nutritional guidance, the 3 core areas that Jacob believes makes a good athlete great. In the mental aspect of the preparation, MPN Training teaches athletes the winning mindset and championship mentally, giving him/her real tools to start the game fresh and finish the game strong. In the Physical component of MPN Training, athletes are taught to improve on the 9 components that are crucial to athletic success: flexibility, cardiovascular conditioning, core strength and power, balance, plyometrics, speed, agility, quickness, and muscle performance. Finally, in the Nutrition component, athletes are taught proper macronutrient ratios and meal planning for on-season as well as off-season to ensure continued progress during actual gameplay.

In 2015, he formed the Jacob Tuygun Foundation, a nonprofit organization that partners with other organizations to develop kids of today into leaders of tomorrow.
