Jacob Faber lives in Bay View, a neighborhood on Milwaukee, Wisconsin's south side, with his wife, Kari, and two daughters, Grace and Harper. He is a cook at Honeypie restaurant in Bay View. The idea for his book, Red Jacket Pops, came about while he was living in Los Angeles, but missing his home state of Wisconsin. He enjoys spending time with his family at Kohler-Andrae State Park Beach, or the Milwaukee County Zoo. He likes Wisconsin winters, but thinks they are too long. He stereotypically enjoys drinking beer and eating cheese. He walks to work, but often gets a ride home.
