He was active in Pu'ulu Lapa'au, serving as a member of the Board of Director's of that organization, dedicated to promoting the health of physicians, and public safety. Prior to retirement, Dr. Jobe served as the Radiation Safety Officer for Straub Clinic and Hospital for many years, in charge of the oversight of x-ray radiation safety, and nuclear medicine radioactive isotope safety. At Straub, he had also served as Chairman of the Department of Radiology.

During his residency at UCLA, he was also asked to be the Medical Doctor on several movie sets. In 1967, he returned to Hawaii to join Straub Clinic and Hospital. Resulting from a deep interest in the martial arts since childhood, Dr. Jobe received many national and international awards in martial arts.
