Jack graduated President of the class of 1945 from Commercial High School in New Haven. He joined the US Army, and was honorably discharged in November, 1946. Returning to CT, he attended The Connecticut College of Commerce (later to become Quinnipiac), and later earned his Certificate of Public Accountancy in 1953. Jack was a 50-year member of The Connecticut Society of Certified Public Accountants. He established a private accounting practice in Westport that he maintained until his retirement at the age of 78.
