An awesome example Jack gave of a travel opportunity was a position he accepted in Australia in 2011. That opportunity was made possible by Jack’s relationship with Paul.

Jack’s advice to newcomers is, “maintain a good work life balance”. Jack said he truly values being in control of selecting the projects he accepts as a Construction and Commissioning Manager. He likes that he can tailor his selections to his personal life based on location, duration, and project type. When Jack is working on a project, he usually has one to two weeks off at a time which gives him time to travel and visit family with his wife or take care of his 65 acres at home. This has been a significant benefit to Jack. It has helped him maintain a satisfactory work life balance.   

Being able to travel during his career has always been important to Jack. He has been able to travel all over the United States and visit many other countries while working in the staffing industry. Many times, he was able to share these experiences with his wife. During his travels Jack has worked on many challenging projects and worked across many different personalities and cultures.
