10 things you don’t know about me… Todd Jacob

Every week we ask an area resident to share 10 interesting facts about themselves. This week we spoke to State Farm agent Todd Jacob who has a new location at 411 Clarendon Ct, Suite 100  | Savoy , IL 61874.

I have been married to my wife, Michelle, for 16 glorious years.
My daughter, Payton, is a Sophomore at SJO and my son, Tanner is in the 8th grade at St. Joseph Middle School.
I am from a small, rural IL community of Herscher.
We moved to St. Joseph 11 years ago and have never regretted it.
Through the years I have been fortunate to help coach Basketball, Baseball, Softball and Soccer teams in and around the St. Joseph Community.
Unfortunately my wife and son are Cardinal fans; however, my daughter and I are the smart ones in the family and we Love the CUBS!
 I once was employed by the Chicago Bears as an Intern Athletic Trainer.
I have only suffered 1 broken bone in my 43 years; however, the 1 I broke (Femur) happens to be the largest bone in your body.
I would eat ice cream every day of the year if I could.
The best part of my job is being able to help people through difficult times.
