Jacob Volkov was born in Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan. When he was only a year old, his family, along with two small villages, escaped to Persia (now Iran) with their wagons and cattle. One of the Persian warlords gifted them a village, which these refugees converted into a Russian village. At the age of 16, he left his family and traveled to Tehran, the capital of Iran, to study in an American mission school. There, he studied the English language and other subjects in Farsi, while working in an American sergeant's family in Tehran. After immigrating to the United States of America, he served in the US Army in Japan during the Korean Conflict as a medic. At the end of his military service, he attended college and earned BA and MA degrees in English and Russian. Upon graduation, he taught these languages in high school and College. He is retired now and lives with his wife of 63 years in Fresno.
