Jack is the proud son of a hardworking union worker (UAW) and dedicated preschool teacher (Head Start). Early in his life Jack became an Eagle Scout, volunteered on a major gubernatorial campaign, and served as a habitation assistant for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. These experiences taught him to celebrate diversity and laid the groundwork for his future educational and professional pursuits.
My mom was a Head Start preschool teacher who dedicated her career to ensuring that all children have an equal education. Even when we were young, she made sure that my sister and I always understood the importance of equal access to quality education. Eventually, I served as a Head Start substitute teacher myself, working towards the same important goal that my mom did before me. As a proud father whose sons attends a local public school, I know that our communities’ schools are places where our children can expand their worlds and grow into the leaders of the future. In my role as a nonprofit leader, I work with and within our local schools to ensure that our youth have the support they need to succeed.
