I have been living on this planet since March of 1964. I am the son of Clarence and Julia. I have three brothers: Rodney, Kenneth and Robert. I have six wonderful and unique children: Jennifer Lee (1984), Clarence Franklin "CJ" IV (1986), Kyle Patrick (1990), David Alan "Davey" (1994), Jarrett Anthony (2000), and Julie Ann (2001).

I can only remember living in Southern California. I was born in Kansas, but have no memories of there because I was very young when my parents moved to California. I lived in Baldwin Park until my fist marriage in 1984. I have lived in Alta Loma since August of 1997.

I have worked at my current job since 1982.

I have been married twice; DeShawn (from 1999, final sometime in 2005). DeShawn was my second wife. We met in late summer of 1999 on the internet when she sent an instant message to me while looking for someone to hang out with in the local area. It was love at first type. We dated for a short while, things clicked and we were married in November 1999.

My first marriage was to Tara (1984-1996). We met at college at started a family at a very young age. The kids have grown up well, and she and the kids live in Mesa, Arizona.

Still in marriage I am not discouraged. I am sure that somewhere out there, there is a woman that can appreciate the true qualities of a gentleman and loving husband. Right now, I am looking for friends, and advancing my career at Chaffey college, and being the best dad I can be for all of my kids

History of JacobsUSA.com

If this section doesn't make since, I just type a bunch of ideas one night and planned to correct the grammar and sequence in the future)

I originally took computer programming classes my sophomore (1979-80) year in high school. The computers I used were Radio Shack Tandy computers with 4k of memory (that is a k,  not meg), and a standard audio cassette tape for storage.  I excelled at programming my first year, and in my junior year, I was in advanced (helping the 1st year students learn how to program) class.  During my senior year, there was a field trip to a computer expo in Fullerton.  I had my first experience with the Apple computers of the time, and the computer I first fell in love with, the COLOR Atari 800 computer. I knew at that point that when I could get a computer, it would be an Atari.  Sometime during 1985, I got my wish.  I bought an Atari 800XL (with 64k of ram) from 'Toys R Us'. It plugged into my TV using an rf adapter, and had the basic programming language built in.  I got the need for more, and soon had a cassette tape recorder,  a disk drive, a printer, a modem (300 baud), a trak ball,  a touch pad, plenty of software,  and a second disk drive.  Almost all the peripherals were daisy chained one after another.  About this time, I was learning about bulletin board systems (BBS's).  One of my friend friends had started up a BBS called 'The Pink Dragon'. Still needing more,  In 1987 I bought an Atari 130XE model (with an amazing  128k of memory).  At about the same time, I would look through the Recycler newspaper and met somebody who  knew how to upgrade to 256k of memory witch could be soldered on to my board.  This was the beginning of my association with user groups. I started to go to the user group meetings, finding I knew more than most, and was welcomed to share my knowledge.  Soon, I was taking over the duties of creating the newsletter,  trading newsletters,  advertising cut and paste, etc.  One of the traits of an Atari enthusiast is to  collect.  During my height, I had 5 running computers, with all the accessories. Trade shows,  ST Mega 4,  30 megs hard drives,  and more.  ACES, PALACE, Cris, Luis,  Brody,  Glendale, NAMM.  GEnie, Pick Ten,  Pick Six,  Indy Split. AOL,  hometown  Jacobsusa Domain

How did I get my interest in racing? In the '70's, my family would travel about two miles to a speedway in Irwindale, CA known as the '605 Speedway'. Almost every Saturday night, our family would go to see the circle track bombers.

I've been to these recent events

Kyle gets his name from driver Kyle Petty, and David gets his from Davey Allison and Alan Kulwicki, a remembrance of two great drivers who passed their final checkered flag in 1993. Jarrett is named after two drivers also, Dale Jarrett, 1999 Nextel Cup Champion, and Tony (Anthony) Stewart, 1999 Rookie of The Year. 

By day, I am a Programmer/Systems Analyst where I have worked for over 20 years. If anybody is out there looking, I am open to the possibilities. I try to learn as much as possible about the internet. You will see my efforts displayed here. I hope my experience here can lead to better things in the future.

I was born in Kansas, but have lived all but the first year and a half of my life in the Inland Empire/San Gabriel Valley, which is about 50 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. I love the fun and sun of Southern California. I also enjoy riding the roads of these United States, of which I've visited 35. I regularly visit my parents who live in Southern Idaho.

My Maternal Grandmother was: Bernice Eunice Sayre - Bourquin
