About Jack

Hailing from the Twin Cities, Jack came to Oregon in 2014 to complete a B.A. in English Literature at Lewis & Clark College.

Prior to joining Willamette Writers, Jack worked as a Content Strategist and self-published his first novel.

Jack is “thrilled to be joining such a wonderful and rich community” and is “looking forward to meeting everyone and supporting their work.”

When he isn’t writing or reading, Jack enjoys playing music and rugby. He recently wrapped up the spring season with Portland Lumberjacks RFC, culminating in a trip to Rome to compete in the Bingham Cup.

Jack is looking forward to a packed summer featuring the Willamette Writers Conference, camping trips, and a forthcoming creative nonfiction short in the Buckman Journal.
