The Dirt on Jack
Outside of work, you’ll most often find me on walks in the woods with my dog. I also love chamber music, climbing, backpacking, bird watching, foraging, gardening, fly-fishing and all things mechanical. Closed-loop agricultural systems and regenerative farming practices are some of my current fascinations. I hope to someday have enough garden spaces/ farmland that I am mainly living off my own land. My favorite quote is by John Muir: “Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.”
