Jack's Story
Life
After high school, I attended Arizona for three years. I was then drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1991 and went on to play with the Chicago Cubs, White Sox and Anaheim Angels in the minor leagues for 9 years. I traveled the country and enjoyed every bit of it. I played baseball in cities like Anchorage Alaska to the Cap Cod. I reached triple A with the white Sox and retired in 2000 in Reno Nevada. That year I also played with Michael Jordan, he was terrible. I lived in Scottsdale Arizona for 5 years and moved to Yuba City, (Sacramento) in 2000 to start a broadcasting career. After a year here, the team folded and I began substituting and fell in love. In 2002 I got a job as a minor league broadcaster in Fort Wayne Indiana. I stayed for a season and moved back to Yuba City and got engaged. I quit broadcasting to be a full time teacher. I am currently married and working on my teaching credential as well as my masters. I have a step son name...Expand for more
d Alex who is 11 years old. My wife's name is Elizabeth. I teach corrective reading to 6,7,8 graders. I want to teach English and PE in high school next year. I coach the freshmen baseball team and a summer college all-star team here in town. I miss Chicago for the people not the weather. The ocean is mesmorizing out here so you should visit. We are only an hour or so from Lake Tahoe, 2 hours from Sann Francisco and an hour from Nappa Valley. Our favorite spot is Monterey Bay, Pebble Beach.

Workplace
I became a teacher because I wanted to leave something behind for others. I lived a selfish life playing professional baseball and now it's time to help kids. They all need a voice.
