“Jacks compositions were a perfect fit for the games scenarios. He always worked with sharp focus on what was needed and brought in a unique and atmospheric musical style that laid a great tone for the game.”

“Jack was a student of mine for both introductory courses to the Bible and for New Testament Greek (Koine). There is no question that he applied his curiosity to his studies, a trait that warms a professor’s heart. In addition to being diligent in his work, always prompt, respectful of others in the class and of me as his professor, Jack is also an interesting person, someone I am proud to say that I know. With all sincerity, Jennifer Bird, Ph.D.”
