Jack Peckham out of Wrigleyville in Chicago knows Chicagoland like home. Occasionally, you’ll notice him twitch as he was often hit by foul balls out of Wrigley field as a small child. However, every game at home is especially a home game for Jack, who can bike between home to campus in a day.
Jack P dominates everywhere on the frisbee field, a product of his raw athleticism and dedication. You may not notice it at first, but Jack P pretty much lives in SPAC. He’ll run into girls coming out of the shower and they’ll ask him “wait Jack you have abs?!” (True story). Any shin splints that may have slowed him down in the past are gone… Jack P is a beast.
While he can do it all, Jack can really shine with some of the precision he puts on his throws, which came out of nowhere. He went to bed one night not knowing how to throw, but woke up the next as a disc-slinging legend.
And how about his energy? Where does his boundless enthusiasm for the Game come from? Maybe it’s from his late great-grandmother Ann (Faherty) Peckham. An involved political figure in her community, Ann’s general passion likely trickled down through the Peckham genes, inspiring Jack’s passion for life and frisbee.
But you can’t forget about Jack’s most influential characteristic. He is hilarious. Constantly smiling in every conversation, Jack P is there to be your guy. Easy to talk to, or play a game with (you can’t beat him at Wordle), Jack P is always ready for a good time. So whether on the field or in the frisbee house basement, Jack Peckham is reliable and always ready for anything.
