About Me

My name is Jakob and I'm the club manager for Club 3° in downtown Minneapolis, MN.

I came to know the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal Savior 7 years ago. Prior to that I did not believe in God and in fact I hated Christians. I made a challenge one night to God. I said, "God, if you're real, make me what I hate." 7 Years later, I'm a Christian longing for more of Him! I'm not here to jam a Bible down your throat but I am open to sharing about my faith in God and how I made the leap from atheist to Christian.

I like to make people laugh. This world would be a much better place if people would laugh once in awhile. "A merry heart does good like a medicine", right?
