Jack was born and raised in a small town in western Minnesota. After moving to Portland in 2023, he completed his Master's of Science in Real Estate with a focus on multi-family finance and operations at Portland State University. 

At Housing Connector, Jack supports partnership efforts between property owners and community organizations to expand access to housing, helping connect available homes with the support people need to stay housed.

In his free time, he enjoys skiing, camping, rafting, live music, and exploring the Pacific Northwest with his partner and their Corgi. Jack is also an artist who uses photography to explore how our values shape land use and the built environment.
