Moving into Corbett for the first time in 1992, Jacob Paul was just a baby. His parents rented the home across from the Corbett Community Church on Mershon Road and the Scenic Highway. Eventually purchasing the home located between the Springdale Tavern and the Springdale Bible Church, Jacob has many fond memories of growing up with the Schaaf and Tymoshuk boys, playing in the woods and down by the creek. He loved the fact everyone felt like "brothers." Jacob's family moved from the community for job demands, but his family eventually came back, knowing Corbett was indeed "home" for Jacob and his younger brother and sister. Jacob played soccer for many, many years and his dad was the coach at Corbett High during his sophomore, junior and senior years. Jacob also worked at Big Bear's Market for a time as a cashier. He is currently working at Crestview Manor Conference Center off the Scenic Highway as a "lead." Jacob oversees and helps with set-up, clean-up and guest services. Soon employment will be changing for him- Jacob will begin his five year career with the U.S. Army beginning on August 29, 2011. Jacob will be headed to Fort Jackson, South Carolina. He sees this as an incredible opportunity to serve his country as well as get the college education he so yearns for. Having a strong passion for math, Jacob says Mr. Larry Swanson, his high school math teacher put a fire under his feet to love and appreciate every aspect of mathematics. This is just what Jacob is hoping to get his degree in in the future. One day, his dream is to return to the Corbett area, purchasing a home for himself and a future family of his own!
