Jack spent the first eighteen years of my life in San Jose, California. He is the son of two teachers; his mom teaches dance and kindergarten and his dad taught English and philosophy at high schools and San Jose City College. Science is his main trade, particularly evolution, ecology and paleontology. He bums around record stores, ponder the cosmic perspective, stare at zoo elephants for hours, draw cartoons, work for the lowest wage the state of California will allow, skirt around spare time stand-up comedy gigs and he does a bit of writing when he can. He always liked storytelling. He is currently a Biology Major at Sonoma State University.
