Jack's first on-air job was as a newsperson at a classical music station. He began his full time radio career as a DJ at the CBS progressive rock station in Chicago while he was still in school. After many years at top-rated stations in Chicago, Jack returned to his family here in Tampa Bay. He arrived at U92, now Q105, after 14 years at our sister Oldies station, WJMK in Chicago, where he was DJ and Music Director. He also taught Journalism at the college level. He acknowledges that he feels privileged to have joined Mason Dixon and his accomplished staff. Jack says, "You can learn a lot when you watch    the best in action".
