Jack Benson

Jack began working with Alex's Saints Foundation in May 2020. Jack has been working alongside the rest of the foundation and leads the Education initiatives and activities to organize yearly statistics and research regarding opioids  and overdoses in surrounding areas and nationally. 

Jack's connection to Alex comes tied together from many different ropes. With independent friendships with Foundation members like Glen Kozeli, Hannah Callis and Tyler Bettelon, it was only a matter of time until Alex's gravitational pull drew Jack into his orbit in their late high school careers. Jack and Alex were always in close connection: the afternoons and nights were spent working together as valet and parking cars while the nights were either spent in the cul-de-sac of Dina Drive or out at another show. Since the passing of Alex, Jack has made it a goal be able to assist those in need who are fighting the opioid epidemic.

Jack Benson is a 2018 Michigan State University graduate currently working for Little Caesars Enterprises Inc. as a Supervisor in their I.T. Retail Technology department. In his free time, Jack is best known as "Blades", a house and techno DJ. With the introduction to DJ'ing coming from Alex, Jack is now the Co-Founder of record label LiteWork Detroit. Much of his inspiration comes from the early experimental days of DJ'ing that Jack and Alex shared together.
