Hi! My name is Jack, I am a 27 year old Texan, and I run a small bar inside a movie theater. I have a lovely wife, and 3 cats who most definetly do not pay rent. I've got a degree in metalsmithing & jewelry making, so my college experience was that of a traditional art student and thar perspective is a big lens through which I view the world, for better or for worse. I come from a family of educators too so teaching and theachers are very important to me.

Additionally I was a marching band brat in high school and growing up my dad was in a cover band. I often feel that both of those things are very obvious at first glance at me! I can play a bit of a couple instruments, but only well enough to play for myself and my cats!

I bounce between hobbies pretty frequently, so I typically have many ongoing projects to yap about! Some of those hobbies include bartending, metalsmithing, music, gaming, CAD and 3D printing (I'm a big advocate of right to repair), & home labbing! I was a boyscout so I love the outdoors, camping, & backpacking as well.
