About Jack Sawyer

Jack is thankful for the many blessings he has been given in life, of which many flowed through his parents, Pat and Jimi Sawyer. An elementary public school teacher for over 20 years, Jack's Mom (Jimi) emphasized the importance of working hard to obtain an education that would provide the foundation for greater usefulness in and enjoyment of life. Always the thoughtful lady, Jack's Mom also instilled in him the importance of treating others the way you want to be treated. Jack also learned many life lessons from his Dad (Pat). A sales representative for Procter & Gamble for more than 25 years, Jack's Dad taught him the value of a dollar - that you don't spend it before you earn it, and when you do earn it, you invest and spend it wisely. He also imparted to Jack a love of sports (especially basketball and golf) and politics (especially Republican politics).
