About Me

Greetings. My name is Jacob, and it would seem you've found your way to my MySpace page. Feel free to take up residence here, as being in my presence (even online) is sure to make you a better person. The quick facts: I am 24 years old, living in Indianapolis. I'm a low-level manager for the Hertz Corporation (yeah, I rent cars for a living). I know it's not the most glamorous job in the world, but it's challenging, it's hard, and it's afforded me a pretty nice lifestyle. Speaking of which, it also gives me tuition reimbursement, so sooner or later, I'm going to start working on my MBA. In the meantime, I can be found in Indianapolis, plotting world domination with my metal band, Soulrazer. I have begun recording our full-length debut CD. Other than work and music, I have a fanatical interest in Buffalo Bills football, Buffalo Sabres hockey, golf, film, cigars, and wine. On Sundays, I can be found hanging out with a great group of friends called the "Indy Bills Backers," a collection of Bills fans that hangs out, watches games, eats wings, drinks beer, and plays cornhole. My immediate goals: to continue moving up in my company, make more money, save money, and get a Masters Degree. My long-term goals: to eventually own my own business (whatever that may be) and to have a successful (even if marginally successful) heavy metal band and release some killer music. Hope this explains a little about me...see ya around!

My Interests

Buffalo Bills, Buffalo Sabres, Cincinnati Reds (for the first week of the season until they start sucking), PGA Tour, Heavy Metal, Hard Rock, Cabernet, Merlot, Expensive Cigars, Advertising, Marketing, Graphic Design, Music, Guitar, Drums, Vocals, Piano/Keyboards, Doing stupid shit like all-night cornhole tournaments or bowling, and improving myself everyday.

I'd like to meet:

Women that are unique, ambitious, intelligent, funny, and positive. If your three top interests in life are "going to the clubs, partying, and partying," then go find someone else to hang out with.

No man should have to work 121 hours in 2 weeks. Period. Yet, that is what I just did. Thank God I get overtime. Yeah, I'll get some epic paychecks, but sometimes I'd rather have free time...
