About Jack Wickum

A PROFESSIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENT I’M PROUD OF

Summer 2024 I created and ran a comedy summer camp with Last Best Comedy here in Bozeman, Montana. Each week ended with the kids putting on a showcase. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen middle schoolers do stand-up!

A NOTABLE EXPERIENCE

I spent a year teaching English in the small French town of Saint-Flour. It was a life changing experience. I not only had the chance to immerse myself in the community where I taught, but, thanks to the flexible French academic calendar, I also had the opportunity to travel and explore France and Europe. Some highlights were working on a Llama ranch in the French Pyrenees, exploring southern Spain, and many amazing nights in Paris.

MY BEST $100 PURCHASE

Kirkland brand prescription sunglasses. I’ve spent too many days hiking in a blur. I will never go back.

 
MY BOOK RECOMMENDATION
The Dawn of Everything by David Graeber and David Wengrow, possibly the most re-readable nonfiction book I’ve ever read. It tells a new story about the evolution of human society that is inspiring, insightful, and occasionally funny. 10/10 recommend.
