With an impressive 34-year career in aviation, Jack served as a pilot, Chief Pilot and Director of Operations for an Aircraft Management Company. During Jack's tenure, he managed a fleet of up to 21 aircraft stationed globally and supervised a dedicated team of over 75 professionals. His role involved working closely with high-net-worth individuals, celebrities, government officials, and Fortune 100 principals. Additionally, Jack was an integral part of the sales team, demonstrating and selling corporate jets. His success in aviation was largely due to his ability to foster strong teamwork and collaboration among his colleagues, lead and motivate his team to achieve their goals, communicate effectively with a diverse range of stakeholders, and solve complex problems efficiently, while always putting safety first.
Upon retiring from aviation, Jack pursued his second passion, real estate. Originally from the Pocono Mountain area of Northeast Pennsylvania, Jack and his wife relocated to Sarasota 13 years ago, and for the past 7 years, he has been helping people find their dream home as a real estate agent. His aviation career honed his attention to detail and reinforced the importance of teamwork, leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills, all of which have proven invaluable in real estate sales. He enjoys working with buyers and sellers of a wide range of properties, from the golf course to Gulf-Front. Jack achieved the designation as a Certified Real Estate Negotiator and is a member of the Institute of Luxury Home Marketing.
As a resident of The Preserve at Misty Creek, Jack has served as a board member of the Misty Creek Homeowners Association. He enjoys staying informed about community events and growth. Outside of real estate, he is a Corvette owner and enthusiast with a passion for motorcycles as well as boating. He and his wife of 45+ years and have one grown daughter, and enjoy the Sarasota lifestyle for its incredible climate, year-round outdoor activities and welcoming community feel.
