About the Author

Uncle Jack is a 99-year-old, TikTok sensation and influencer with over 1.3 million followers on his channel(s) "askunclejack." Uncle Jack is famous for answering followers' questions and filming vlogs and conversations. He shares his daily life in an assisted living facility and interacts with his great-nephew Damon Vonn. Uncle Jack served in World War 2 and was stationed in Australia and the Philippines. He has a love for sketching, carving, painting, and making birdhouses, and even had his own "backyard zoo" where he raised many animals including wild coyotes, a monkey, and even a bobcat! Despite never marrying or having children, Uncle Jack is surrounded by a loving family who supports him. Damon launched Uncle Jack's social media presence and a Go Fund Me campaign to help with his care in the assisted living facility. Uncle Jack was born in La Crescenta, California, in 1923 and has lived a modest life filled with nature, hiking, and creativity. His TikTok channel provides a window into his world, and followers are inspired by his life story and his amazing spirit. Damon Vonn is a highly skilled music industry professional and creative based in Los Angeles. With a wealth of experience in various roles such as Front of House Engineer, Tour Manager, Production Manager, and Manager, he has traveled the world working with artists such as Gavin DeGraw, Colbie Caillat, Mickey Guyton, and others. He also serves as the Music Director for the global creative communications agency, CG Creative, and has directed numerous corporate events from Los Angeles to New York and Vienna to Egypt. He also co-founded the entertainment management company, Culture Management Group where he serves as the Executive Chairman and manages the multi-Grammy award-winning group, Ozomatli. Uncle Jack is Damon's 99-year-old Great Uncle. They became close friends when Damon was about 9 years old. They would go on adventures in the mountains of Southern California, where Uncle Jack would pass on his wisdom and knowledge to Damon. He taught him the art of catching snakes and lizards, showed him how to explore and appreciate nature, and instilled in him a deep respect for the natural world. Uncle Jack also helped Damon develop his imagination and creativity, by teaching him how to draw and use his imagination to the fullest. Despite the passing of time and the inevitable changes that come with age, Uncle Jack and Damon still consider each other to be the best of friends. Their bond is unbreakable and they treasure the memories they have shared throughout the years.
