Jacob Shelley is a law professor with a passion for whitewater canoeing. He loves the thrill of the rapids but has a deep respect for safety and rescue skills. You can pick him out in a crowd of canoes by finding the one with the fishing rod sticking out the stern, or just in his hands as he's chasing dinner. His loyal dog, Ghost, is known to ride with him down some pretty big whitewater. Jacob is known to pull out some surprises, like successfully making amazing deep-fried donuts from scratch half way down the Dumoine.
