Jack is an All American Racewalker, carpentologist-in-training, and MyFixitUpLife video creator and editor.

He also is an assistant commissioner of a Wiffleball tournament that benefits a school for at-risk youth, and is a second degree black belt in Shaolin Kempo Karate, and was a teaching assistant. Jack is currently involved in a competitive “pun war” with his carpentologist dad Mark. There is no sign that the pun war will ever end.
