Bio :
Jack is the heart and soul behind the inception of Additional Needs, Inc. (ANI) and the profoundly moving art initiative, "Celebration of Creation." Over the past two iterations of this art experience, Jack captured the essence of nature through his lens, but this year, he's passionately engaging in the artistic process with a touch of assistance. Jack's profound affection for nature, art, cars, and music resonates in every aspect of his being.

For the last three years, Jack has been the driving force behind "SharpeLivin'," his own radio show, where he, along with his devoted parents, shares resources to empower others in realizing their full potential. Amidst the music, Jack and his parents convey messages of support and encouragement to uplift those tuning in.

Jack's influence extends beyond the realm of art and radio, as he is the catalyst for the inspiring "Sensory Inclusion Cars on 5th." Collaborating with St. Matthew’s House and the Ferrari Club of Naples, ANI ensures that individuals with sensory needs can revel in the Cars on 5th experience. Through sensory bags, a sensory clubhouse, and guided tours of the show, ANI, along with its partners, creates an inclusive space for everyone.

In his journey, Jack has found support from Easterseals Naples, MF Therapy Group, Lighthouse of Collier, and Special Olympics. Additionally, Jack has actively participated in The Naples Players KIDZACT and the Naples Therapeutic Riding Center, enriching his life through diverse experiences.

ANI provides a user friendly and time-saving website with current and comprehensive information of available resources to assist children and adults with additional needs and their families in finding appropriate services in their areas. Go to additionalneeds.info to find resources in your area!
