This is actually the 4th time Jessob has lived in Wisconsin! He was born in Wisconsin Rapids, and started his journalism career in Wausau. He was a morning anchor in Milwaukee from 2013-2018 and now an evening anchor at CBS 58!

What brought Jessob and his family back to Wisconsin? YOU! The amazing people of southeast Wisconsin. The love and support that he has received here is second-to-none. He loves it here and is so honored to be back inside your homes and in the palm of your hands.

After graduating from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication on the campus of Arizona State University, Jessob took a job in Wausau. Back then, he was a sports anchor/reporter. He couldn't have dreamed of a better first job because he got to spend time with all of his family that lives in Wisconsin and got to cover the Green Bay Packers as if they were truly the "home team." It's not often that your first job takes you inside a NFL locker room.

After Wausau, Jessob was a sports anchor/reporter in Syracuse, NY and Fresno, CA. Then he transitioned into morning news when he took the job in Milwaukee. After that, it was off to Washington, DC.

Jessob has had the honor to cover some amazing events at each stop. Topping the list would have to be covering the Packers vs. Giants game in London, visiting kids at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, flying with the Blue Angels (and passing out), working in the shadow of the Washington Monument, and introducing the world to "Kai, the Hatchet Wielding Hitchhiker."

In Jessob's free time, he loves playing sports with his two sons and just having fun! Oh yea, and golfing. Jessob loves golf! His first hole-in-one actually happened in Wisconsin at Fire Ridge Golf Club!

You can watch Jessob on CBS 58 weeknights at 5, 9, & 10! Send him story ideas to [email protected] or on Facebook, Instagram, or X.
