Jack serves as lead vocalist/acoustic player for the band JUPITER WIND.
When you know the statistic that 88% of those who commit their lives to
Christ do so BEFORE they turn 14 years of age, AND then you see young
adults 18 and over leaving the church in droves, you begin to realize
there's no evangelism without reaching our youth. Add in the lifestyle
pressures that our children and young adults face each day with their
peers, in their schools and at home with the many conflicting media
messages seen on TV, heard on radio and experienced online, you start to
see that without support, encouragement and mentoring, our youth are
struggling in their faith. When you know these things, What do you do?
When you're a member of Jupiter Wind…you go after them big time! It's that
target the guys in JUPITER WIND are after…students who are trying to make
sense of faith in today's world!
"God is obviously up to something, all the time, but the last few months,
he has been impressing upon our hearts', that it's time to "kick it up a
notch"," says Jack. "We feel like God has given us an increased passion
for this generation, a generation that for the most part, people are not
helping to grow up to be people of God."

Jack had the opportunity to hook up after a GMA "guitar pull" in 2007 with
producer Dale Oliver (Casting Crowns, Josh Bates, Bucky Covington) and
share some of his music. The two hit it off because of their like hearts
and Oliver took an interest not only in the music but the message that
would become a part of Jupiter Wind's ministry.
"Jack and the guys are serious about reaching people for Christ. That is
why I am in the Christian music industry. I have worked with the (Casting)
Crowns, toured as an artist with Geoff Moore, Steven Curtis (Chapman), you
name it...what drives me is working with people who want to do something
with eternal value," says Oliver, a Dove Award nominee, Grammy award
winner, Christian music veteran himself.
