The world welcomed Jakob Wissel on August 22, 1996. Born in Ocala, Florida, to German immigrants Ditmar and Linda Wissel, Wissel is the first member of his generation to achieve the American dream. He owes them a lot for shaping his early years since they made him into a responsible young man who pursued his goals, especially in a different part of the world where he was pressured to do well. Jakob Wissel has three half-brothers, which has had a significant impact on him. As a result, he feels purpose and obligation to his community because of his close-knit family, especially throughout his youth. For instance, his parents may sign him up for Boy Scouts, where he later earned the prestigious Eagle Scout award in 2012.
