Born and raised in East Germany, Jack was recruited by the KGB while attending college.

Having spied for the Soviet Union for 10 years, he severed his relationship with the KGB
and withdrew into private life. Nine years later the FBI discovered him - which makes the
19 years he lived as an illegal in the U.S. a record among undercover KGB agents in our
country. When finally apprehended by the FBI Jack cooperated fully, and in 2014 he
became a proud U.S. Citizen.

Jack had a very successful career in information technology as a technician, manager and
senior executive. He attributes his success in managing people and leading teams to a
