He loved hunting, fishing, hiking, biking, water skiing, snowmobiling and just being outdoors. Jacob also loved family vacations, especially scuba diving in Cozumel. He was a member of the Marquette waterski team and fishing club. Jacob was a huge fan of the Green Bay Packers, Marquette Golden Eagles, Wisconsin Badgers and the Milwaukee Brewers.
