Jack joined the DEA in 1988 upon earning a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from the University of North Florida. That same year, Jack graduated from the FBI Academy, Quantico, VA and was assigned to the DEA New York Division, where he spent the first eight years of his career before being promoted to Supervisory Special Agent and transferred to the Atlanta Technical Operations Group. 9/11 brought him back to New York City due to his expertise in sophisticated electronic surveillance programs, including tactical and non-tactical technology-based solutions that enabled and enhanced the DEA’s intelligence and law enforcement functions. In 2008, Jack transferred to the New York Organized Crime Drug Enforcement “Strike Force” (Strike Force) comprised of agents and officers of the US Drug Enforcement Administration and the New York City Police Department, where he led an international team of investigators that lead to a 25-count indictment against Rafael Alvares, a/k/a Rafi, head of an international narcotics importation organization and his associates. The operation was one of the most brazen cases of reckless killings for the benefit of narcotics trafficking that the DEA had seen ever seen. Over his 26-year career with the DEA, Jack gained extensive experience in all facets of complex criminal drug conspiracy investigations and won numerous awards and commendations for the work he lead to take down numerous drug trafficking organizations both in the U.S. and internationally.
