My name is Jacob, and I run The Elevator Channel!
A little about me:
I'm currently living in St. Louis, MO, where I attended Saint Louis University and recently moved into the workforce with an entry-level IT position. I've held several other jobs that involved maintenance, food preparation, and transportation.
I love music, and I have a very wide variety in my library. I'm a bit famous (some of my friends would say notorious) for being a huge fan of the Dave Matthews Band. I have every one of their studio albums, and plenty of live albums as well.
I'm deeply interested in travel as well as the hospitality and airline industries. I'm well known for my frequent travel, especially to Mexico. Likewise, I'm one of the few people who absolutely loves to fly. I'm a major airline nerd, and no matter how many times I fly, it just never gets old. Some of my fondest memories from the 90's were flying out of Lambert St. Louis Airport during the TWA days. While in previous years I'd likely take 4-6 trips, my recent job change has ballooned this number to about 20-30. I really enjoy transportation in general. While I'm also interested in trains and public transit, I'm not as knowledgable in these areas.
Then, of course, there's elevators and car washes. These are the things I'm most well-known for on YouTube. When I was much younger, elevators and car washes were two of my favorite things in the world (you know, at the age when people wouldn't think I was weird for liking them). I honestly stopped caring about them until around 2008 when I accidentally stumbled onto some videos of elevators on the internet (from YouTube users Dieselducy and MusicFreakCC). Seeing that there was a market for these videos, my interest was rekindled. I originally thought that my YouTube channel was going to be a short-lived experiment, but all of these years later, it's still going strong... stronger than ever, in fact. I think it's absolutely amazing that, all of these years later, I'm able to share these childhood interests with an incredibly diverse audience from all over the world.
