Early life and education
Jack was raised in Prairie du Sac by their parents, about whom not a lot is known as Jack respects their privacy; it’s believed that their father was a car mechanic, and their mother a nurse. Because they haven’t spoken about their siblings, most people believe Jack to be an only child.
The family eventually moved to Sauk City, Wisconsin, where Jack was bullied by his peers because he was a ‘little gay kid’; they’ve since revealed that they’re indeed gay, and that they use pronouns they/them. They were 13 years old when they were taught by a dancing teacher influenced by the late American modern dancer and choreographer Martha Graham, and it was around this time that Jack knew they wanted to become a professional dancer.
They studied at a local high school and for their senior year, attended Interlochen Arts Academy, from which they matriculated in 1997.

Jack made their debut film appearance in the 1999 romantic comedy drama “Outside Providence”, written and directed by Michael Corrente, and which starred Shawn Hatosy, Amy Smart and Alec Baldwin.
