Hi, my name is Jack. I was born and raised in Utah and began my undergraduate education at Augustana College in Illinois, where I competed as a collegiate cross country and track runner before transferring to Weber State University after a series of injuries, completing degrees in Political Science and History. Since age 18, I’ve worked with youth in a variety of roles, including supporting children in the child welfare system through nonprofits, managing summer camps, and most recently serving as a paralegal for private Guardian ad Litems in family law to better understand the legal side of child welfare and advocacy. In my free time, I enjoy running recreationally, occasionally racing, watching reality TV, and spending time with our four dogs.
