Douglas Lowell Jack was born in Seattle, Washington, USA, then grew up in and around mining camps in Idaho and Nevada, before moving to British Columbia, Canada at the age of 10 years. His parents were engaged primarily in the mining business. His father was also an experienced Alaska bush pilot.
Douglas has lived an exciting life, certainly when he was around his parents but also on his own in the years to follow. He became a skilled heavy- duty mechanic, equipment operator and also a professional musician. He is well read on a variety of topics and is able to write about all the many experiences of the Jack family with a lot of natural enthusiasm, humour, knowledge and attention to detail.
He currently resides near Prince George, British Columbia, Canada, with his wife Deanna and is still looking around for the next adventure!
