Jack grew up skiing Sugarbush in VT and raced for his high school team in MA. In January 2018, Jack crashed into a tree while race training. He suffered a T12 burst fracture, broken ribs, and other minor injuries to his spine and organs. He had surgery to replace his T12 vertebrae. As a T9 incomplete paraplegic, he currently walks assisted with crutches and a single AFO brace for his right foot.

Jack is currently in college. Through High Fives he has been able to return to his home mountain Sugarbush during the 2018-2019 season. Jack is skiing in a sit monoski with Vermont Adaptive showing him the way. He is looking forward to getting back to sailing in the summer, and to try rowing as well.
