Welcome to the W Jack Savage website!
Websites were things we could never imagine when I was growing up. Simply achieving the status of ‘grown-up’ was job enough in those days. When I look at that picture of myself in Vietnam I smile because by that time, I was beginning to consider myself grown up. After all, I had moved cross-country by myself, got a job and paid taxes. Then I enlisted and smoked and drank and loved my country. That I had done everything wrong to that point mattered less than the fact that I was getting away with it. Young Jack London was who I wanted to be and even if I lacked the toughness to truly emulate my hero, it’s been a by-product that’s served me well over the years. I’ve never been too afraid to run away and try to reinvent myself.
