About Me

Let’s put this out there right away, I got my name when my mom looked through a phone book and changed someone’s last name from “Jessup” to “Jessob”. Different, yes, but pretty simple. I'm not a terrorist, I'm not Jewish, I'm not Amish, or anything else (not that the 2nd and 3rd things are bad)... What can I say the late 70s... early 80s were crazy times:)...I grew up in Irvine , California and attended Arizona State University where I studied Sports Broadcasting and earned a degree in Broadcast Journalism from the Walter Cronkite School. Something I knew I wanted to do forever... well actually I wanted to be a professional athlete, but when I only got offers to DIAA & DII schools out of high school, I realized it wasn't in the cards... plus I'm white... I know, big surprise.But after college moved to Wausau, WI for my first job... you know you gotta pay your dues in this business, and I wouldn't have wanted to pay my 1st dues anywhere else... it was a great experience... now onto Syracuse, NY. Crazy college sports town plus Yankees, Mets, Bills, Giants, Jets, Sabres, Knicks, etc... These stops are just stepping stones to the ultimate goal though... keep your eye out... remember the face. And most importantly... What I thank the Lord for (in no particular order)... Friends, Family, Health, and Happiness!
