Bio
Jennie Broecker
In a high-pressure environment like a newsroom, it can be challenging enough to be the editor in charge of a section and its reporters. Add a product launch into the mix on top of your regular daily commitments, and things get overwhelming fast. Jack helped launch a weekly business magazine and website by having a command of content, staying focused and maintaining his calm, easygoing demeanor. He was a pleasure to work with, and I was sad to see him go.
Michael Wiser
I was fortunate to have Jack as my editor during our time at the Rockford Register Star. He is a solid writer, patient editor and excellent teacher. He's also one of the most unflappable people I know, which is a great quality to have in the newsroom of a daily paper. Both inquisitive and intelligent, Jack has helped me and several other reporters become better at our work. I recommend him enthusiastically and without hesitation.
