About Me


Jack’s main talent is storing useless information related mostly to sports names and statistics. You name the college and I can all but certain give you their mascot and a fun fact. Beyond the useless knowledge of sports, I have honed in on my career aspirations to be in communication with an emphasis on sport administration.

 

When not studying or watching a ballgame, I have a passion for creating life long memories with friends and family. The best advice I have ever received is never turn down a road trip, seriously don’t do it. My goals are attainable but my dreams are big. Commitment to working hard is something I take pride in and try to accomplish on a day-to-day basis.

 

Anything my mom cooks is my favorite food, and I don’t have any taste in music whatsoever. I have never seen Star Wars or Harry Potter, and don’t plan on it. My favorite place on planet earth is a tie between Turner Field in Atlanta, GA and Bald Head Island, NC.
