Landon Jacobson, a devoted father, skilled diesel mechanic, and heavy duty tow truck operator co-authors this powerful book with his son Bowdie Jacobson. Together, they recount their harrowing journey through tragedy and adversity in “Tell me I can’t…..I’ll show you I can”. Landon’s resilience and dedication to his family have been crucial in navigating the challenging times they’ve faced.

Born to Kirk and Sherry Jacobson in Richfield, Utah and raised in Orangeville, Utah, Landon spent his childhood surrounded by family values and a love for the outdoors. With three sisters and a stay-at-home mom, Landon learned the importance of a close-knit family.
Landon attended Southern Utah University in 1996, studying small business management. He then transferred to Utah Valley University, majoring in Diesel Mechanic technology, graduating in May 1998. In January 1997, he married his wife Heather, and together they built a life in Cleveland, Utah, where they moved too in June 1998.

A self-made businessman, Landon founded Landon’s Diesel Service in Price,Utah, on March 1, 2003. His passion for diesel mechanics and commitment to excellent customer service has made his shop a staple in the community for two decades.

When he’s not working at his diesel service, Landon cherishes his time cowboying with his four extraordinary children. An avid supporter of Bowdie’s rodeo pursuits, Landon enjoys bonding with his family through their shared love of horses and the western way of life. Riding through rough terrain and taking calculated risks, Landon always demonstrates respect and love for his horses and the land they traverse.

With a heart full of gratitude, Landon shares his story in the hope that it will inspire, uplift, and offer solace to those who may face their own challenges.
