Backstory
Jack is a long time local who’s been playing in the mountains of Park City since the early 80’s. Alpine skiing, Nordic skiing, mountain biking and fly fishing are all part of a typical day in the life for Jack. In his spare time he plays guitar in a local band called Lash LaRue, an Americana roots music collaboration. Jack started at Jans in 1984 as a salesperson and the rest, as they say, is history. He worked from the ground up, becoming a hardgoods buyer and eventually General Manager, a role which he enjoys since its spread over so many different categories. Even though he participates in just about every sport that Jans represents, Jack’s most passionate about alpine skiing and mountain biking. “I prefer the solitude of mountain biking and exploring areas that are less traveled, “ he says, “but going out with a couple of friends on a powder day and ripping all over the mountain makes me feel like a kid again.”
