About Jack

Jack played chess from an early age, and what he loved most about it was the opportunity to engage with someone and help them learn more about the game. A 2017 graduate of Hatboro-Horsham HS, Jack was President of the National Honor Society and an AP Scholar with Distinction. He studied at Dartmouth College before taking time off to focus on his entrepreneurial efforts. But Jack's brilliant mind was suffering from depression, and he died in 2019. He is immensely missed by his family and friends, who were touched by his kindness, sharp intellect, and unique insight.
