Jack raised his family of one daughter in Scott Depot, West Virginia. He is a graduate of the University of Charleston with a BS in Chemistry. After 33 years of service with Union Carbide, he retired as a Senior Chemist in 2002.

 Jack was appointed Disaster Relief Coordinator of the ABMen of West Virginia on August 20, 2005, one week before Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast. He has led numerous teams to southern Mississippi, assisting families in their recovery from Hurricane Katrina’s destruction. Immediately after the storm struck the Gulf Coast, the ABMen of WV cut trees in Wiggins, Mississippi and surrounding Stone County for several weeks, then moved to the coastal areas of Bay St. Louis and Waveland. Their ministry continues in that area, passing from the cleanup and gutting of houses into rebuilding.
