‍ ‍ David Jacobs- Owner

Dave Jacobs opened the doors to Mid America Service in April of 1983, and more than four decades later, his dedication to the business and the people it serves remains stronger than ever.

Dave is the kind of owner who leads from the front. He’s hands-on, customer-focused, and never too far away from the action. He genuinely cares about every customer who walks through our doors and takes great pride in making sure they are treated honestly, fairly, and with respect.

After more than 40 years, Dave's greatest accomplishment isn't simply building a successful business. It's the people, relationships, and memories built along the way. We are incredibly grateful for his leadership, his heart, and everything he has done to make Mid America Service what it is today.
