Music and multi-media are the tools Kaufmann has used for more than eighteen years, thus blending his heartfelt original compositions with recognizable cover tunes. His imaginative music is enhanced by a compelling slide presentation, which includes a steady flow of educational information and captivating images of visualized natural beauty.

Along with his "story-teller style" delivery, Jack displays an impressive array of musical talents - powerful vocals, flute, guitar, keyboards, and percussion. He has designed shows that target all age groups from elementary to high school through college and adult.

Experience why a feature article in the Chicago Tribune’s Tempo section described Jack as “a high energy
rock ‘n roller …an enviro-tainer who draws
on vast creative resources to teach and inspire...”
 

Jack was honored with the “Outstanding Environmental Educator” award by the Illinois Recycling Association!

In the 1980's Jack earned two degrees from Illinois State University; a B.S. in Environmental Health and an M.S. in Health Education. While working on his masters degree Jack also became the manager of a county-wide recycling facility.
