Jack, originally from Montana, has lived in Puerto Rico for about twenty years and Cabo Rojo for about ten years with Damaris, his love. Jack earned a BA in Literature & Writing while minoring in Drama at the University of Montana Western. While working at the university, Jack discovered his second love (after Damaris), mathematics--which Jack had the opportunity to study at UMWestern as well. Jack and Damaris live entirely off-the-grid with their ever-evolving family of animals.
