Jack’s success as an educator stemmed from his ability to share his personal experiences as a technician with students. He truly cared about advancing the industry and had a unique teaching style that was adaptable and relatable. His passion for the industry serves as inspiration to continue learning, whether it be through ACCA’s ComfortU training center, in-person training, on-demand training, live virtual courses, or with ACCA’s residential and commercial design manuals, like Understanding Manual J® and Understanding Manual D®, both written by Jack.
I first had an opportunity to sit down with Jack shortly after I joined the ACCA team in 2016. Jack was at the ACCA office for one of his training courses and was kind enough to offer me the opportunity to share what
Jack will be remembered as a dedicated contractor and champion of ACCA. His positivity, generosity, knowledge, and determination touched the entire industry. Our deepest condolences are with Jack’s loved ones. He will be greatly missed.
