Jack now resides in the aftermath of the American Dot Com Dream. Following a tepid stint as a software engineer amidst the zenith of the dot boom, he pivoted his career trajectory to pursue photography. Presently, he finds fulfillment in the endeavor to establish an innovative creative agency, one that seamlessly melds his passion for art, technology, and purpose.

He ardently believes in the potential of business as a force for positive societal change, particularly in a culture fixated on short-term gains and purely economic benefits. Consequently, he endeavors to infuse his personal ethos into his professional endeavors by championing nonprofit causes and embarking on a long-term exploration of Buddhism’s relevance in the contemporary landscape.

He has another portfolio website that contains a collection of landscapes and personal projects. His work portfolio is here
