Jack spent most of his school years in Mena but moved his junior year of high school to Warren, Arkansas and graduated that Spring of 2015. He now returns to establish Esports here at UARM.
While attending Henderson State University, Jack helped establish the esports program there the moment the opportunity arose in 2018, and it became the first Arkansas college to offer scholarships for esports. Jack led and coached the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate team through 2018 and 2019 until his graduation.
In 2021, Jack became the Assistant Director of Esports at Capitol Technology University in Laurel, Maryland, and in a year and a half there went from a bare room to a 25-person facility and a Rocket League team that finished in the top 4 of their division within the National Association of Collegiate Esports varsity plus league.
