The Rack Pack
Jeff Gerard (Captain)
It all begins with an idea. Introduced to the game very early in life (Chicago Native)…not sure I recommend my path but it wasn’t my choice. Played the game most of my life at an average enthusiast level. Really enjoy the team interaction. Working on improving my approach to practicing and using affirmations to improve results. Love playing 1 PKT and local tournaments. Occasionally will push play outside my comfort level and enter a big competition. Founder of The Rack Pack. Preferred equipment : Predator, Cognoscenti
