Jackson graduated from the Dan Patrick School of Sportscasting with a Bachelors Degree in Sportscasting.
Jackson is originally from Paragould, Arkansas, a small town not too far from the Missouri state line and around an hour and a half from Memphis, TN. His love for news and sports comes from a class he took throughout high school which allowed him to act as a reporter from a young age. This class played a large role in his decision to pursue a career in the field.
When Jackson isn't at work, he likes to play basketball and explore his new home city of Cheyenne.
