Jack snagged his dream internship in 2019, helping out around the traps at Street Machine. Editor Telfo snapped him up after he finished his media degree later that year, and since then he’s done a bit of everything. Jack’s chipped in with filming, web management, and WhichCar TV hand modelling, but spends most of his time as an SM staff writer.

You’ll normally find him in the shed cursing something with a Blue Oval badge — right now, an 80s survivor Fox-body Mustang.
