Jobs's adoptive father, Paul Reinhold Jobs (1922–1993),[6] grew up in a Calvinist household,[7] the son of an "alcoholic and sometimes abusive" father.[2] The family lived on a farm in Germantown, Wisconsin.[2][7] He bore a resemblance to James Dean, had tattoos, dropped out of high school, and traveled around the midwest for several years during the 1930s looking for work.[2][7] He eventually joined the United States Coast Guard as a machinist in the engine room.[7] After the end of World War II, he decided to leave the Coast Guard when it docked in San Francisco.[7] He made a bet that he would find his wife in San Francisco and promptly went on a blind date with Clara Hagopian (1924–1986).[8] They were engaged ten days later and married in 1946.[2] Clara, the daughter of Armenian immigrants, grew up in San Francisco and had been married before, but her husband had been killed in the war. After a series of moves, Paul and Clara settled in San Francisco's Sunset District in 1952.[2] As a hobby, Jobs rebuilt cars, but as a career he was a "repo man," which suited his "aggressive, tough personality."[7] Meanwhile, their attempts to start a family were halted after Clara had an ectopic pregnancy leading them to explore adoption in 1955.[2]
Jobs's biological father, Abdulfattah "John" Jandali (b. 1931), was born into a Muslim household and grew up in Homs, Syria.[9] Jandali is the son of a self-made millionaire who did not go to college and a mother who was a traditional housewife.[9] While an undergraduate at the American University of Beirut, he was a student activist and spent time in jail for his political activities.[9] Although Jandali initially wanted to study law, he eventually decided to study economics and political science,[9] and pursued a Ph.D. in Political Science at the University of Wisconsin. It was there that Jandali met Joanne Carole Schieble, a Catholic of German descent who grew up on a farm in Wisconsin.[2][9] As a doctoral candidate, Jandali was Schieble's teaching assistant although both were the same age.[10] Mona Simpson (Jobs's biological sister), notes that her maternal grandparents were not happy that their daughter was dating Jandali: "it wasn't that he was Middle-Eastern so much as that he was a Muslim. But there are a lot of Arabs in Michigan and Wisconsin. So it's not that unusual."[10] Walter Isaacson, Steve Jobs's official biographer, additionally states that Schieble's father "threatened to cut Joanne off completely" if she continued the relationship.[2]
