Jack founded IVID in 1986 with co-partner Steve Holder with the idea of creating interactive training and online information products in a dynamic new field - multimedia. Technology and design experts by background, both Jack and Steve knew they could dramatically improve the effectiveness and usability over products of the time. Their hard work and tenacity paid off when IVID won its first big contracts with Nissan and World Book Publishing to develop interactive training for automotive technicians and the first-ever CD-ROM encyclopedia.

Under Jack's stewardship, IVID has grown into an award-winning developer of more than 300 e-Learning and e-Business products and solutions for companies such as Ford Motors, IBM, World Book, Toyota, Procter & Gamble, Honda, Costco and many others. Today, literally millions of people use IVID products worldwide.

Jack began his career in communications software development and management with NCR and Fujitsu. In 1983, he co-founded Interactive Technologies Corporation, a pioneering company developing interactive videodisc and software products for training and entertainment. Jack holds a degree in Applied Physics and Information Science from UC San Diego with advanced studies from San Diego State University.
