Kerry Sam Jacobs

Most people renovate their kitchen with the idea of making meal preparation easier and more fun….but noooo, not Sam. Sam’s kitchen project revolved around preparing a nice, cool, good looking place for her dogs to sleep. In her own words “you gotta get your priorities right”. But we do wonder why Donald has never had neck problems... 30 years of shaking his head at her. Yes, that’s right, Sam’s been happily married for 30 years to Donald Jacobs (of the North Carolina Jacobses). And they did meet when he tried to arrest her, but we can’t remember about what! They have two wonderful boys ages 21 & 18…..and those apples didn’t fall far from the tree.

Sam graduated from Palm Beach Atlantic University so long ago that it was called P.B.A.C. Her degree is in Business Administration with a minor in Drama….we think she has a major in DRAMA and we are not talking college degrees. This PBAU connection must explain how we get all of those damn college kids working here.

Originally from Evanston, IL (Chicago) Sam and her family moved to the Sunshine State when she was about to enter Middle School (way back when we called it Junior High), and she was 11 years old. When Sam came home from school one afternoon her MOM informed the family that she would be starting Scuba lessons that evening. Sam did not believe her (she still has trouble believing her and we can not figure that out...we LOVE her MOM) so she tagged along to see for herself what her MOM was up to. She must have become engrossed with the first lesson and signed up for herself. She is certified or is that certifiable? Little did she know that one day she would be running the best damn dive facility on the planet. How could she know? Innocently enough, her MOM asked her to oversee the construction of the club for a couple of years back in 1978…..has anyone told her that the buildings are complete?

As the busiest woman in Palm Beach County, Nobody can do her job! I cannot name a person on the planet that can work with all of us guys (& Suzie) and keep us going straight and that is my story and I’m sticking to it.
