Jack, 38, originally from Seattle, Washington is a swimmer, model, and fashion designer. In 1991, Jack moved to New York to attend Parsons The New School for Design where he studied fashion design. Fresh out of Parsons, Jack opened a menswear store in the uber-chic West Village called "Jack." There, he showcased new designers alongside upscale brands such as Gaultier Junior, Diesel, and John Richmond. In 1997, he went to work for Tommy Hilfiger and then designed for the Slates brand, which is under the Levis umbrella. For the past four years, Jack has been the design director at Weatherproof Active Wear.

Beyond his professional achievements, Jack has also received national recognition as a competitive swimmer. He has three All-American titles to his name and set a national record in the summer of 2006 in the breaststroke leg of the 4 x 50 meter medley relay. As a fitness and fashion model through the 1990s, Jack appeared in such magazines as "Paper," "DNR," "Men’s Fitness," "Men’s Journal," "Genre," "Blue" and several others. Jack has also always been very open about his positive HIV status. Since his diagnosis in 1990, he has tried to combat the stigma of HIV by living honestly and being a role model through professional and athletic achievements.

Currently Jack is developing his own line of men's dress shirts and dress pants and hopes to expand into all aspects of men’s sportswear. He is also working on a memoir about his life experiences.
