Before joining Barley Snyder, Jack practiced with a boutique estate planning firm in Annapolis, Maryland. Prior to law school, he worked as a corporate paralegal at a large North Carolina law firm, where he assisted with corporate transactions, corporate governance, mergers and acquisitions, financings, and other business matters. This experience provided him with a practical understanding of the legal and operational considerations facing businesses at various stages of growth.

Jack earned his J.D. from the Wake Forest University School of Law, where he served as an editor of the Wake Forest Journal of Law and Policy and was involved with the Trade and Development Clinic, working with socially-conscious startups across Latin America on organizational, governance and funding-related matters. He earned his B.S. in Physics, with a minor in Philosophy, from Davidson College.

Originally from North Carolina, Jack relocated to Lancaster to build his legal practice and make the area his home. Outside of the office, he is an avid car enthusiast and self-taught mechanic. He also enjoys traveling and spending time with friends and family.
