Jack was 9 years old when he decided to have his leg amputated after many surgeries attempting to correct the birth defect complications in his left leg. He grew up playing youth sports alongside able-bodied competitors, as he qualified for the Colorado State Swimming Championships under the able-bodied time standards. He was also the first triathlete with a disability to compete at youth nationals, high-school nationals, and adult nationals.

Jack competed internationally in swimming for Team USA throughout high school and college. In 2023, he won three silver medals at the Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile. This August, Jack achieved his lifelong dream of competing for Team USA at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris, France.

Jack is a college graduate from the University of Wyoming with a BA in journalism and a minor in disability studies. He was a swimmer for the University and one of the only disabled swimmers at the NCAA Division I level. He was unanimously voted captain the last two years and has led the Cowboys to be one of the top teams in the Western Athletic Conference. Now, Jack is a public speaker, podcaster, and aspiring sports broadcaster.

Throughout his athletic career, Jack was blessed to receive support from many disability advocate programs in the form of grants. These grants allowed Jack to pursue lofty goals and excel at the highest level.
