He served one Tour of Duty in Vietnam as a Combat Medic with the remainder of his three year obligation spread among hospital and Infantry Duty in Germany and the US. His military service was with the 1’st and 24th Infantry Divisions, the 70th Combat Engineers and USAREUR(US Army Europe).
Jack’s most recent book “Incoming” details the life of a medic in Vietnam’s Central Highlands in 1969. It is a “walk in my boots” story as seen through the eyes of a 21 year old army medic...Jack.
Jack is currently completing a new book entitled “Men of the 70’th”... a compendium of stories written by men from Jack’s Unit, the 70’th Combat Engineering Battalion. It is their stories written by them. This book is his effort to capture a small slice of history before it is lost when those who made it pass on.
In addition, Jack has written seven specialty Art Books documenting the life and times of artists who have shaped the destiny of the 20’th and 21’st Century, names like Michael Godard, John Kelly, James Coleman, David Garibaldi and others. Along with Richard Enfantino from Enfantino Publishing, they published their first ever book, “Don’t Drink and Draw,” the life story and art work of world famous artist Michael Godard. It won the “Best Art Book in 2006” Award by the “USA Book News.”
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Jack wrote a Veterans Column titled “Insights of a Veteran,” for Comcast’s “IntheGardenState.com” local content site in New Jersey and was awarded a “Best Military Site” by Military.com for it.
Jack believes that every day is a “Gift” from a higher power and that it should be lived with conviction and passion. Transforming what in the heart and soul to the “Printed Word” is Jack’s passion and he plans to continue with it into the future.view less
