Jack is an accomplished student-athlete at Bridgeport High School. He was a member of  the baseball team for 3 years and took part in the 2019 state championship run.

 

However, basketball is his true passion. He was a member of the freshman program and has played a key role on the varsity team for the past 3 years. As a junior, he was an all-state, all-conference, and all-county selection. As a senior, he intends to be one of the top players in the state. Jack has earned the opportunity to pursue college athletics in both sports.

He will also be the confirmation sponsor for his younger brother, Ben.

  

Outside of school, Jack enjoys fishing, video games, weight lifting, and playing  miscellaneous sports with friends.

 

After high school, he plans to attend college and pursue a  degree in biology, which he will hopefully use to attend dental school. Eventually, he would like to specialize in orthodontics, but he is undecided where at this point.
