Jack is the current owner of Bigsby Frozen Foods that focuses on vegetarian frozen meals, with over $300M in sales annually.PureLife Foods recently agreed to purchase Bigsby's and made a promise for Jack to receive a position within the organization as part of the purchase agreement.It was agreed that Rico Manuel, Jack's long-time expert Frozen Foods Director would take over as Director of Operations for the PureLife Foods's supplement division.Terry Schinn, PureLife's COO, has asked to have Jack vetted carefully to see if maybe this new position would be a good fit for his executive level management and leadership skills.Terry also believes that since 'Jack can run his own company he should be able to run a new division.'The purchase of Jack's company by PureLife Foods has a stipulation that Jack must be provided with a 'high level' position within the organization.Prior to starting the company 17 years ago Jack was an officer in the US Air Force working in logistics. During Grace's conversations with Jack, he admitted that he handled the operations and financial side of the company for many of the company's initial years while Rico led the marketing campaigns that helped the company grow exponentially for the first few years and maintain steady growth thereafter.However, he believes that since he has been leading Bigsby's through its growth that he could easily manage PureLife Foods into a new venture.Jack feels confident he is the best candidate and is a front runner for the position.
