Jack is a graduate of Texas Tech University, where he earned a degree in Marketing. He commenced his career in 1993 as a dealer salesman in Louisiana performing tow & show for Rubber Tire Backhoes and Mini Excavators. This position led to his employment with Kobelco in 1996 as the Midwest District Business Manager. In 1999, he advanced to the role of General Manager of the Compact Excavator department, and in 2002, he was tasked with establishing Kobelco Cranes North America (KCNA).


In 2017, Kobe Steel made the strategic decision to globally merge its crane and excavator businesses, resulting in the creation of Kobelco Construction Machinery USA. Jack was appointed Chief Operating Officer (COO) in 2019, overseeing both divisions.
 

He possesses a strong familial background in the industry; Jack’s father worked on the dealer side, and his grandfather was employed by the manufacturer Galion Machinery. As a third-generation professional in this sector, Jack exhibits a profound passion for the people, projects, and machinery that define this field.
