Jack is a Master Member of the Association who has spanned two careers, education and small business.

After retiring as Superintendent of the Warrensville school system, Jack formed a real estate appraisal firm. Despite helping to educate thousands of kids, he feels that educating homeowners on the true value of their home may be an even more difficult task – particularly today!
