Behind the scenes, get to know: Janene Jacobs

What are three things everyone should know about you?

I am from Peytona, a small coal mining town in southern West Virginia. I am a true “coalminer’s daughter” and did not move to Ohio until 2004.

I am an avid sports fan! I am a season ticketholder to the Columbus Blue Jackets and enjoy the game of hockey. I love college football and both Ohio NFL teams.

I am the mom of two boys and one grandson. My oldest, Logan, is a senior network administrator at a credit union in Gahanna, and my youngest, Hayden, is a pharmacist at a home infusion pharmacy in Dublin. Adler, my 2-year-old grandson, can do no wrong in my eyes and totally rules my world.

One thing you never leave home without.

The one thing I cannot leave home without is the same answer that most people give: my cellphone. The main reason is without my driving directions, I would always be lost. I have the worst sense of direction, and at this point I wonder how I got to destinations before cellphones.

Who has been most influential in your life? 

The most influential person would be my husband, Jeff. He understands me, listens to me, is a shoulder to cry on, and, most importantly, he believes in me. His support has helped mold me into the person that I am today. No matter the situation, Jeff’s words and actions make me rise when I fall and he brings out the best person I can be. He continually shows me how much a positive attitude can help with my outlook on everything. I am a much better person all around since he came into my life, and I will be forever grateful.
