Ever wonder what Sharkie is like outside of the costume?!  Listen in as we sit down with Jason Minsky who spent over 10 years as both San Jose’s beloved Sharkie and the 49ers Sourdough Sam mascots.  Jason has quite the background from being a mascot, to being in the Front Office of the San Jose Sharks, to civic work with the San Jose Chamber of Commerce all the way to being the Executive Director for Christmas in the Park.
