Staff & Coaches

Jack was born and raised in San Francisco, California and has been paddling since 2019.

He and his wife, Rachel, started with San Francisco Dragon Warriors’ Friends and Family day and shortly thereafter, both joined the team. Jack’s goals were to get into better shape, improve his paddling skills, and be part of a close-knit community. It took many months of practices where Jack’s endurance improved, got stronger, slowly improved his paddling techniques and made friends with some great people.

Jack has been working for over 35 years and most of it in technology in the healthcare, construction and hospitality industries. He is currently working at a company focused on providing end-to-end quality care services to our senior population.

In addition to dragon boat paddling, Jack also enjoys playing tennis, running and exploring. He enjoys simple foods like Shanghai style won tons in chili oil, steamed pork buns, dim sum and nuts (yes, he is what he eats). When you see him, you will see someone who is quiet, introverted, humble, and calm – but during race day, he is extremely competitive.
