About Us: Fred (VIDEO)

Fred: Hello. My name is Fred Jacobs. My interests outside the practice of law are biking, rowing and going for long walks on the beach in our beautiful state of Florida. Even though I’m an old guy, I still bike 25 to 50 miles per day. I also get the opportunity to go to work everyday in my boat. In addition to having a slip behind my house here in Florida, I rent a slip downtown and I actually get to work in my Boston Whaler. Sometimes it’s so much fun that I’ll take the long way home and go out into the Gulf of Mexico, which is an unusual way to commute in this day and age. I’m also working on my first novel, which is a mystery in the format of Robert B. Parker who wrote the Spenser novels. One of my favorite things is to row across Sarasota Bay and back in my rowing skull, a distance of approximately eight miles. Not bad for an old guy.
