Jack Russell wrote Fox World after heart trauma almost took his life four times. During recovery, he sought a calm refuge and found it in a nearby forest where he reunited with an aging red fox that he once saved as a pup. Jack drafted the 342-page Fox World on his smartphone as he and the wild red fox walked daily.

Previously, Jack traveled North America and Europe for over three decades to assist Fortune 1000 companies with building distribution channels, developing new products, and launching start-ups. His efforts were instrumental in building a pet health insurance company in America and he underwrote over one hundred affinity marketing programs in his career. Jack studied economics at Virginia Commonwealth University and years later, attended executive programs at The Wharton School and Georgetown University.

He lives in Lake Frederick, Virginia with his wife, Susan, and their Jack Russell terriers. Along with fighting for Mr. Fox's forest to be declared a nature preserve, Jack and Susan enjoy giving freedom rides to shelter dogs and assisting with their shelter medical bills. He is a beginner at photography, an ever-learning birdwatcher, a football fan when Green Bay is on television and an enthusiastic golfer of diminishing skills.
