2. IDENTITY
Jack Haverstock was born in Pittsburgh
Pennsylvania, and at a young age moved to
Calgary Alberta, where he quickly developed a
strong passion for sports. Playing Hockey at high
levels, and being the starting running back for
the high school football team, he was never quite
good enough to get to the next level, but his love
for the games never ended and he knew exactly
what path he wanted to take, but it took awhile to
find it. After graduating high-school in 2017, Jack
was on his way to the University of Lethbridge to
study Business Management. After a year of lots
of highs and lows, he packed his bags and went
home for the summer knowing this wasn’t were
he wanted to be. After coming across Full Sail
University and the Sportscasting program he
didn’t think twice about it, and is now expected to
graduate in the Summer of 2020. After Jack
graduates he plans on moving back to the
United States and starting his career in the
Sports Entertainment Industry.
