Jack grew up in Lincoln, graduated from Lincoln East high and earned a Law degree from the University of Nebraska.

Jack is married to Meagan Liesveld, who is the Executive Director of the United Way of Lincoln/Lancaster County. The couple have a pair of children, Johnny and Norah, who keep Jack very busy as soon as he gets off work with activities including sports, dance, Lincoln Boys’ choir, piano and church groups.

When he’s not at the radio station, Jack loves to spend his time taking his kids to Husker sports events, jogging, cooking (particularly on the grill and smoker), playing cards and fantasy sports and working on his goal of developing a music playlist for every imaginable event or mood.
