About Me

After forecasting West Michigan’s weather for more than thirty years, Terri DeBoer joined the team at Jacobs Financial Services as Director of Communications and a licensed insurance producer.

In addition to delivering West Michigan’s “wake up” weather, Terri also served as co-host of a daily lifestyle show called eightWest. Through weekly interviews with Tom Jacobs, Terri realized significant similarities between forecasting the weather and forecasting the financial markets. In both areas, having a plan for safety and being prepared for times of uncertainty is critical. Reviewing her personal financial retirement strategy ignited a passion within her to help others create solid plans for a fulfilling retirement. So Terri officially “retired” from WOOD-TV, passed her certification exam, and joined the team at Jacobs Financial Services.

Along the way, I've been blessed to raise 3 wonderful children; 2 of whom are married to their high school sweethearts. My youngest was married in 2023 (bringing the total number of "kids" in my family to 6)  And...the family has grown by a generation, as I am blessed to have two incredible GRANDSONS!  They are all hard-working followers of our incredible God; combining their talents with their ever-deepening faith.  They are all fun-loving and kind individuals; who are making strides through making the world a better place.

I've also been blessed to be married to my husband, Bill, for more than 30-years! It's almost hard to believe that we have spent more than half of our lives together!
