Immediately after H.S. Jack joined the United States Marine Corps. He spent two years in the Marines and is a combat veteran of Vietnam.  Jack has been married to his wife Linda for over 50 years.  They had two sons, Derrick & Ryan, which led Jack into becoming involved in Pop Warner.

Jack was a founding member of the LaPorte Pop Warner Association in Indiana in 1977.  He coached in LaPorte for 4 years.  During that time his 1980 team was named as the 1980 Academic National Champion.  In 1982 Jack became the President of the Lake Porter Pop Warner Football Conference (currently Northern Indiana Pop Warner Little Scholars).  Under his leadership the league grew to over 200 football teams and over 180 cheer squads.  In 2007, Jack was appointed Mid-America Vice Region Director, a position he held for one year before becoming Mid-America Region Director in 2008, a position he has held ever since.

During his time as Region Director, Jack authored numerous rule and policy changes at the national level.  He is very proud of having led the effort to bring age-based football into Pop Warner. The many changes he has championed over the years have impacted and provided opportunity to thousands of Pop Warner participants across the country.

Jack is planning on retiring from Pop Warner at the end of his current term, following the 2024 season.  That will conclude an amazing 47-year Pop Warner career of service.  He will tell you his proudest moments have come watching his son and grandson participating in and winning Pop Warner National Championships.
