Jack started his career in pest control before Termidor existed. His first foray into the bug killing world was as a termite tech. With a background in construction inspection, he took to termite work well.
Jack went from termite work to to being a universal tech for one company… and then a service manager for “The Big Green T”. Then he got a job with a pesticide distribution warehouse for a while… until he got robbed in broad daylight and decided “fuck this shit” and went to be a “universal tech” for another company.
Eventually becoming a branch manager for a “Donnie and Marie” pest control company, Jack fought the religious pest system and wound up at the very end of his career as a commercial tech.
After 26 years, he retired from pest control to focus his energies on Tales from the Crawlspace, and being a retired bum.
Jack enjoys his solitude in a 100 year old Sears and Roebuck kit house in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
