About this author



Jack spent his childhood in Waterbury, Connecticut and on Long Islands South Shore. On the Island he repaired and worked on wood boats that he used for digging clams. When not fishing Great South Bay, Jack worked on a "truck farm" and often brought produce to Hunts Point Market. After high school, he worked in the oil patches of Canada and the United States.

Jack attended the University of North Carolina and became immersed in liberal arts and management while working in construction. After college, he studied electronics and computer technologies while he worked on nuclear submarine systems at the United States Sub base in Holy Loch Scotland. Returning to the States, he completed an MBA before working in the United States Merchant Marine.

“Literary censorship should not be necessary within the parameters of the law because it's simply a reflection of prevailing social prejudices!

Writing should challenge and change prevailing ideas - churning the guts and ruffling feathers of friends, family and society. Antagonizing is a product of open writing. Expecting less is resignation and stagnation that slides the art into the status-quo.

Writing needs the wider view that shows the causality of our prevailing social prejudice - and shakes at its foundation.

Writers spare us no less and please leave your praise and oppugn to Christopher Hitchens.”
