"To be successful in my job, I need to have a constant pipeline of content to grow and maintain mindshare in a very competitive market. For years, Jack was key to my success by ensuring the the stories we told about our products through video were innovative, compelling and on time. And he has a good time doing it, which shows in his work."

~Adam Mersky, Managing Partner at The Amplifier Group

"Jack is an All-Star employee. He has worked both for me and as a colleague, and our professional relationship has lasted for over 15 years. Jack has a great work ethic, is extremely smart, thinks creatively and resolves issues effectively, and efficiently. I would hire Jack without hesitation. The quality of his work is stellar, his personality and leadership skills are great and he is a dedicated hard worker."

~Stephen DiGregorio, Senior Programmer/Analyst at Allegro MicroSystems

"Jack is a rare breed: an artist who can work under tight (read: impossible) deadlines, and creatively nail whatever he's doing. During development of LOTRO, I can't tell you the number of times that Jack pulled off minor miracles -- he made the game shine in trailers time and again (on short notice), long before it was ready for prime time. I hope, for his sake, his job is easier now!"
