Bobby Jacobs Email & Phone Number

I’m a lifetime, serial entrepreneur, inventor and sometime artist who has represented major television shows, celebrities, and producers. In 2016, I engineered and built the original prototype for the Maestro – a sustainable, patented coffee brewing process that uses agitated infusion, brewing coffee at a constant 200 degrees to make consistently fantastic coffee. In 2020, I founded the Jacobs Coffee Company for the Maestro, the Maestro Cold Brew and other coffeemakers, securing two patents with three pending. The Maestro’s cutting-edge technology makes the difference.Most people don’t know that I started out in 1977 as a stand-up comedian in Rochester, New York. In 1980 I moved to CA and Columbia Pictures Television appointed me the VP of Business Affairs. In 1982 I started my own TV company, Syndivision, Inc., which I sold to Lorimar. By 1985, I was representing TV producers like Carsey/Werner and “The Cosby Show,” which earned over $1.5 billion in revenues. In 1987 I and NBC CEO Grant Tinker formed a partnership with Gannett, Inc., to syndicate “USA Today: The Television Show.” In 1995 I was named President of Sales for KingWorld International, managing shows like “Oprah,” “Wheel of Fortune,” and Jeopardy.” In 2003, I retired from television and rebuilt a 320-acre horse farm in upstate NY. There, I began hand-forging steel botanical sculptures which were exhibited and sold at the renowned Elaine Benson Gallery.In 2003, I met the owners of Chicken Soup for the Soul with the idea of expanding the brand through TV and the Internet. In 2007, my business partner and I acquired the Chicken Soup for the Soul brand and all its assets. Here I met my wife Elizabeth, an author, artist, and now, an art therapist.2016, fate intervened with a bad coffee experience in the Amazon jungle, sparking the idea for the Maestro. After three weeks with no decent coffee my wheels began to spin and I invented a way to make coffee in the wild. We returned home and I contacted an engineering firm and began inventing the Maestro and The Cold Brew.In 2016, we founded The Spread Your Wings Project. We have built massive pairs of Angel Wings for Dell Children's Hospital and Wingman, an organization borne from the Sandy Hook tragedy. We were commissioned to create a sculpture for Healthline Media. I also sculpted Angel Wings for The Las Vegas Healing Garden in response to the 59 lives lost, as well as for Bassett Medical Center in Cooperstown, NY.
