He then attended the University of Colorado-Boulder where he spent seven happy years getting a degree in real estate. While at school, Jack became a member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity. After graduation, he returned to Chicago to work at his family's real estate business. Jack always had a love for the arts, and after many years selling real estate, he decided to start a career as a painter. In 1981, Jack and his partner, George Rosinski, moved to Port Washington. In 1995, Jack and George's love of music lead them to start Port Classical & Jazz Records, a vinyl record mail-order business.
