Jack was born Sept. 10, 1947. He has been a paranormal researcher and investigator since 1972, while living in Alton, Illinois from his youth. He became interested in the field while looking for information on the Paramedic field at Alton’s Hayner Public Library. Jack became a Paramedic in 1979 with extensive traing in the area of cardiology which plays allot in his theory of a ghost’s makeup considering the electrical energy in the human body. During his search, he noticed a book on the table and the word “Ghost” caught his eye. It was written by Dr. Hans Holzer, the first accredited parapsychologist, Titled “Ghost Hunter” written in 1963. Later he became more interested after reading the writings of Harry Price and other authors. He had many research groups over the years up to the current, The Litchfield Illinois Ghost Trackers Group (LIGTG) in 2007 with 12 current active members. He trains and cross trains all of his members on their equipment and the theories behind its use and LIGTG protocol, which follows the AGS that he was once an active member of. His main interest is residential hauntings and historical locations in Illinois, Missouri and Indiana. LIGTG has investigated the McPike Mansion in Alton, The James J Eldred House in Eldred Illinois, and The Minerals Springs Hotel in Alton. Also among some of the historical place are The Strawbridge / Shepherd House in Springfield, Illinois, The Virgil Hickox House / Norb Andy’s Taberin in Springfield, Illinois and the Elijah Isles House also in Springfield. From the end of 2008 and 2009 the team conducted 55 investigations, including return trips, and it appears that 20010 will be no different for the team.

The team’s main goal is to prove the existence of ghosts and learning what makes them tick. He is very particular as to what evidence is chosen for presentation to the paranormal community and the public in general. In Summer, 2010 his first book, The Maverick Ghost Hunter, will be released.
