 Things You Need to Know About
Jack Sekowski

Picture
  • As a child, he was fascinated by typewriters.  His parents could take him to a party, put him in a back room, and he could entertain himself typing gibberish for hours.  Shape of things to come?  Not the gibberish part, of course.
  • He's convinced that he got his 6'3" frame, long limbs, and blue eyes from a Swedish forefather when Sweden invaded Poland in 1655. He hopes his Slavic foremother was agreeable to the union.
  • Though he graduated from the Ohio State University, he never attended a Buckeyes football game.  He's convinced that there's a special place in hell for him.
  • He picked the American Film Institute for graduate school because they didn't have a football team. 
  • He believes he died and went to heaven while eating steak frites and drinking a red Bandol at the Carlton Hotel beach restaurant in Cannes while observing a beautiful woman rubbing sun tan lotion on her perfect breasts six feet away from him.
  • There are seven foods that he doesn't eat:  Spinach, Olives, Coffee (Yes, coffee!), Celery, Organ Meats, Broccoli, and Rhubarb (Yes, rhubarb!)
  • He once spat Death in the face by climbing the sand dunes in Death Valley in 126 degree heat...and lived to tell about it. 
  • He saw Mick Jagger in Book Soup and Eddie Van Halen at Whole Foods...in the same day.  He didn't get an autograph.  But thought about becoming a rock star for 2.3 seconds each time.
  • He has seen "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" fifty-three times.
  • His pizza with San Marzano tomato sauce, Parma prosciutto, smoked mozzarella, and fresh basil is to die for.
