JACK SIMONE was born and raised in Easton, Massachusetts, where he graduated from Oliver Ames High School in 2017. Jack then graduated from Worcester State University in 2021, before completing a one-year Master's program at Regis College in Weston, Massachusetts, earning a degree in Sports Communication in 2022.
During his junior year at Worcester State, Jack started writing for Banner Town, USA, a self-made website, with the goal of entering the Boston sports media landscape. In 2019, he founded his podcast, How 'Bout Them Celtics, which he hosts with Sam LaFrance. They post daily on their YouTube channel and every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday on all major podcast platforms (as well as the morning after every game day).
Jack currently lives in South Boston and plays basketball whenever he can. During pick-up runs, park-goers have called him Jokic, Sengun, and Sabonis, which really only makes sense from a mobility standpoint. He is a far cry from any of those players, but that should give a pretty good indicator of his play style on the court.
Outside of basketball, Jack enjoys golfing (he is not good), playing video games (he is not good), and going to the movies (luckily, he does not need to be good at this).
