Jack previously served as Senior Pastor and Head of Staff at Grace of Christ (formerly First Presbyterian Church) in Yakima, WA, where he guided the church through a revitalization process, a denominational transition, and significant renewal in attendance and engagement. A graduate of Princeton Theological Seminary (M.Div.) and Fuller Theological Seminary (D.Min.), he has also served on national boards and committees.

They have two children: Annabelle, a biology major at the University of Central Florida with aspirations of becoming a veterinarian, and David, a cadet at the United States Air Force Academy studying astronautical engineering.
