He also co-hosted the area's top-rated morning show The Ric and Roe Show for seven years.

Simultaneously over two decades, Jack was also a weekly correspondent and occasional guest-host of CBC Radio One's Ontario Morning program. In 1982, he was awarded the Commonwealth Relations Trust Bursary, given to one Canadian private broadcaster annually to work with colleagues in Great Britain for six months. Jack chose to work as an associate producer of radio drama at the BBC during his bursary.

Aside from his work as an anchor at 680News, which began in December 2002, Jack also teaches communications at Fleming College in Peterborough, Ont., where he continues to live. He also works as a stage actor (as he has since 1978), winning a number of awards, most recently a Theatre Ontario 'acting excellence award' for his role in a production of Sleuth.

Jack is recently re-married, has three daughters and a step-son, and in his off hours amuses himself by attempting to play left field on two softball teams during the summer and volleyball during the winter months.
