Jack Olson

Jack Travis Olson, known as “JTO” by his baseball and golf teammates, would love to spend a year hunting, fishing, and enjoying the beautiful scenery in Montana. However, Jack currently resides in Madison, South Dakota, where he has lived his whole life. His family, which he claims is fairly uninteresting, consists of his mom, Heather, his dad, Mark, and two siblings, Sam and Maddy, making Jack the middle child. JTO’s free time is scarce because he works two jobs. One is at the Cherry Lanes Bowling Alley and the other is with his parents at Wire’s Tax Service. If he does manage to take a day off, he loves to spend time golfing or hunting and fishing. 

If Jack had a TikTok or YouTube channel, he would share his knowledge and love of golf, hunting, and all outdoor activities.  He would definitely avoid one particular outdoor creature: snakes. According to Jack, “Snakes suck,” and he shyly admits that he’s afraid of snakes. Golfing is a theme in Jack’s life, as he feels that it comes easily to him and he highly recommends it to everyone. In fact, he asserts that it is something he could not live without. Jack doesn’t have a personal bucket list outside of simply living life how he wants to with the hopes of “making it past the age of 30.” As long as he can spend time outside doing the things he enjoys, he’s a happy man.

Looking toward the future, Jack sees himself attending college with the hope of earning a master's degree in accounting. He plans to take the CPA exam and work in the accounting field. Ten years from now, Jack Olson would love to work with his brother, Sam, in the family business. Part of that vision includes a wife, two kids, and a dog he can take hunting. Parting wisdom Jack would like to share with his classmates and underclassmen is to “try to have a good time all the time.”
