Mark Jacobsen is the president and co-founder of Adventure Boys, a company committed to saving boyhood by encouraging fathers and sons to participate in heroic adventures and real life experiences together. The Adventure Boys experience begins with a series of original, pulp-style character-driven paperback books that allow fathers and sons to relate on everything from racecars and fighter planes to Wild West gunfights and science experiments. In this interview from the website ednews.org, Jacobsen talks about the Adventure Boys paperbacks and his website, adventureboys.com, which features activities to enhance writing skills.
