He became interested in drawing from early childhood and at age of nine, an aunt showed him an interview with Mike Deodato in the local newspaper, what caused him great impact because Deodato also lived in Paraíba and drew for the great American publishers. Jack explains, "And that's when I discovered that I could live with comics, work with comics. So it was from there that I came to believe.". At age 10, his family moved to João Pessoa where he lives until now.
In the 90's, he was first influenced by superheroes when he discovered Jim Lee's X-Men and the TV serie X-Men: Animated Series. He also would later be influenced by comics artists such as Mike Deodato, Lee Bermejo, Eduardo Risso, José Luis García-López, Frank Frazetta, Esad Ribic, John Buscema, Marc Silvestri and Olivier Coipel

In October 2000, he attended a lecture on American comics industry and have his artworks evaluated for the first time. From then on, he focused on the goal of becoming a professional comics artist.
