Growing
up in the Coeur d’ Alene Mining District of northern Idaho, Jack spent much of his early life exploring the
area’s mountains and rivers, influenced mainly by his father, an avid outdoorsman. Working winters at ski
areas and summers for a geology company while attending school provided more outdoor contact which evolved over
time into a love of the outdoors in all its forms. Moving to the Reno area in late 1979 introduced Jack to the
Nevada deserts and a new way of seeing things. Involved in manufacturing management and engineering design for
the last 20 years, weekends became the outlet to explore the outlaying areas. Jack's time is now divided between
his Mechanical CAD Design/Engineering consulting service and photography of the great outdoors.
"The images closest to the photographer’s heart are those taken in the solitude one experiences off
the traveled road, in less than ideal weather." |

Thru his fathers eyes
A man spends his life
Dreaming of a time when he can retire
And travel to all those places
In magazines he read
While he was getting older and slower
Neck bent from labor
Building his piece of the world
Raising children, paying bills.
Now free at last is too tired to dream
Of all the wonderful places
He once wished he had seen
His life is ended, too soon it seems
The son gets his own chance
to see the places his father talked about
when he was growing up
And so he goes into the world
carefully at first
always asking, under his breath
if his father can see
thru his eyes.
