President & COO at Velociti

That makes him the leadership backbone and bulldog (quite literally as he graduated from Georgetown Law, go Jack the Bulldog!). Before Velociti, he practiced tax and corporate law for 15 years. He has many interests outside the law and business: he’s an instrument rated private pilot, proudly possesses the highest handicap permitted by golf, and has traveled to over 100 countries. He’s also served on many boards through the years, and currently sits on the Madison Square Park Conservancy. the clients.

That might have something to do with starting at Velociti when he was just a kid. While he’s usually busy keeping all of us in line, he also enjoys flipping houses and investing in rental real estate with his wife and being outdoors traveling, boating and golfing. And he’s a reader, usually opting for books on business, leadership, architecture and geography.
