Jack worked in the highway construction field for 17 years before going to work for the Oklahoma Department of Career Tech in 1996.

Jack said: My walk with God is based on His greatness and forgiving grace and my weaknesses and failures. The trials and tests in my life allow me to stand a little straighter each day. Earlier in my life I thought I could do most anything, but now I know, because I know that my God gives me my strength, that without Him I am nothing. Praise be to God.
