Captain Jack Sparrow in Las Vegas: Here Teacher Jack worked as Captain Jack Sparrow during the day and gambled at night while living at the Hostel Cat on the Vegas Strip in North Las Vegas. He was a favorite at Las Chicas Bonitas in North Las Vegas. Teacher Jack made lots of money and spent it all in dance clubs, strip cubs, and bars. His wild partying eventually landed him in the ER with an alcohol overdose and he stills owes a bill of $15,000 dollars. ” Las Vegas was so much fun and it nearly killed me. I love it still and dream of returning someday. “- Teacher Jack
New Jersey Public Schools
Atlantic City High School: Teacher Jack taught high school mathematics with subjects like Algebra 1 and Algebra 2 and Geometry for several years. He also was given the additional task of preparing foreign students to take the HSPA which gave Teacher Jack his first experience of teaching mathematics to students from other countries, something that he would repeat in Bangkok, Thailand. Teacher Jack was hired, however, with additional money granted by President Obama from his economic stimulus package and when this money ran out, so did Teacher Jack.
Professional Gambler and Escort in Atlantic City, New Jersey
After moving from Piscataway, New Jersey Teacher Jack moved to Atlantic City to gamble for a living. He set a up a campsite in a small forest in the swamps not far from Atlantic City High School. He slept during the day and gambled at night. He also frequented Club True and Studio Six and was well known there as a “creature of the night”. He dated all of the Black transexuals there often. His favorite, Malik Hasan Green, also known as Naya, was shot in the neck while waiting for him at Herman’s Bar. She was paralyzed from the neck down and Teacher Jack was forbidden to see her because the shooter was still uncaptured. She later died but the killer was captured. “I remember making out with her in the alley next to Studio Six and kissing her big juicy lips. It felt so right and we decided to seriously date each other. I still have a thing for Black transexuals.”- Teacher Jack. Teacher Jack also dabbled as a male escort under Michael Olympitus, another poker player, but from New York who ran a male escort service there. ” Michael Olympitus got off on dominating handsome young men. I remember meeting him and he really liked me. He was about fifty-five and he always came from New York with handsome young boys that were about eighteen. We would all party together. He gave those boys money to gamble with and they paid the price. He absolutely destroyed them in the bedroom and I promised myself that I would never allow that to happen to me and it didn’t.”-Teacher Jack
(Above) An adventurous young Teacher Jack as a male escort in Atlantic City and New York and in Philadelphia, PA. He quit when his boss tried to force himself upon him at the Tropicana Casino in Atlantic City. ” I met the gay cowboy from the Village People at the Tropicana Casino and I was star struck. He was very tall but did not drink alcohol so I wanted nothing to do with him and I regret that because he was so amicable. However, being a male escort was always exciting and dangerous at times. I just drank and had fun and diamonds would end up on my fingers from people who were very unhappy in their marriages.”-Teacher Jack. Teacher Jack’s escorting and gambling continued until a cocktail waitress named Yvonne Hurtado noticed him. She thought that he looked dangerous so, one night while he was playing poker at the Tropicana Casino, she slipped her phone number into his drink. The two dated for months and one night she asked him why he smelled like a campfire and a swamp all the time.
This led to him moving in with her and her five kids at her home on Mississippi Ave. She continued working as a cocktail waitress and gave half her earnings to Teacher Jack to gamble with. This was extremely successful until she was fired for multiple violations: from buying and selling gold jewelry to poker players, to cursing out her boss, or even simply showing up to work drunk. The Tropicana casino fired her and the house they were renting was too expensive so the pressure fell on Teacher Jack to save the day. Luckily, he had been secretly dating a blonde model named Anna Marie who had a heroine addiction and had been given a free apartment at 31 North Virginia Avenue. Teacher Jack made a deal with her to get the key and he moved his wife and five kids there. ” We were the only people in the building that were not Black and people were shocked when we arrived but we had a new apartment on the day we were evicted from our old house. I thanked God. Besides, the Taj Mahal main entrance was less than a block away and the view was incredible.”- Teacher Jack. Teacher Jack’s wife went to work for Donald J. Trump (future US President) but was unhappy at the low pay and daytime shift.
Teacher Jack met the young Donald J. Trump (future US President) on the main casino floor of the Taj Mahal. ” He would land on the rooftop by helicopter. He boasted about having the largest poker room in Atlantic City, about owning three casinos, and about the events at Trump Plaza. I couldn’t get a word in. He was impossible to talk to. He was an annoying and insecure person who tried desperately to project himself as a genius who owned the world.”- Teacher Jack “However, later, I met Melania Trump and we got drunk and she gave me a free room.”

The cocaine and alcohol fueled Teacher Jack (above) at a suite in the Taj Mahal Casino, drinking beer, vodka and iced tea in the window, plenty of food from room service, heavy metal music blasting and lines of coke on the table. ” Gambling for a living had its high ups and low downs and in this photo, I was definitely high up!”- Teacher Jack. Note the Showboat Casino in the window.
Both he and his wife began struggling to pay the bills and Trump went bankrupt, again, so Teacher Jack began working at Atlantic City High School as a guitar instructor but was paid as a substitute teacher. It was during this time that Teacher Jack founded his nine piece rhythm and blues band called “The Tailsnatchers”.
The Tailsnatchers were the first band to play at Kelly’s Corner Pub in Atlantic City. Pistol Pete, the owner of Pistol Pete’s in Absecon who has five DWI’s, claimed, ” The Tailsnatchers were the best band that I have ever seen.”Later, Teacher Jack became a full time math teacher at Atlantic City High School. He kept his campsite in the swamps so that he always had a place to go when he needed time alone or when he got into a fight with his spouse. He was back in the swamps often, until the Eastbound Strangler claimed his four victims.
Exxon Oil Company (Esso Oil)
Teacher Jack was the nightshift manager and ran the entire station from 9:00 pm to 6:00 am. The station was called Stelton Road Exxon in Piscataway, New Jersey. Teacher Jack loved this job because teens would come back from New York City on the weekends and wouldn’t have enough gas to get home. Then, they would exchange things like guitars, stereos, and even their girlfriends so that they could make it home. Teacher Jack had a successful side business of selling all kinds of items at this gas station. Because he was at the station most of the day, he set up a campsite in the woods directly across the street and slept there during the day until he met his girlfriend Melissa Doyle, a hot blonde, who was living out of her car and attending Rutgers University and who also worked at the nearby Motel 6. On a date she asked him why he always smelled like a campfire. She then insisted that he move into the Motel 6 with the promise of a free room each time. He resided there with her before moving to Atlantic City, New Jersey to gamble for a living. It was also during this time that Teacher Jack was seeing the final days of his favorite club in New York, the now legendary Edelweiss Club in Manhattan. Owned by the legendary Constantine Eliopoulos,a man that Teacher Jack idolized. ” The Edelweiss club was a club for transexuals, transvestities, crossdressers, and admirers of them. Sex and drugs were everywhere and in full view for all to see. I was the youngest male patron as a student at NJIT in 1993 taking summer classses and it cost only a dollar to go from my university dorm to the Edelweiss Club by taking the Path Train. Constantine Eliopoulus, also known as Dino, loved me like a son because I had dated every hot tranny in that place and I was his youngest and most handsome regular male customer. He always let me go to the front of the line and did not charge me the twenty dollar cover charge. But the neighborhood complained about the loud music, drug needles, prostitutes, and condoms that littered their neighborhood. The club was in court every other week and the end finally came when two New York policemen dressed as women and infiltrated the club.
They saw drugs and sex everywhere and when the police force raided the club, they arrested everyone inside and the club never reopened based on the volume of illegal activity inside. I miss that club and consider it my second birthplace. No other club that I have ever been to had so much hot action inside because for years police did not want to go near it. They feared AIDS. So it was a free for all inside. It was truly lawless, they way I like it. I would bang four to five t-girls each night, sometimes in public, and then dance on the dance floor with a beer. There was always 10 girls per guy. It was wild having three beautiful tall trannys from Europe under my arms at the bar. I mean, most of them were so amazingly beautiful that nobody would suspect that they were really men.”- Teacher Jack
(Above) The inside of Club Edelweiss was a paradise for Teacher Jack. He simply had his pick of the finest transexuals in New York with minimum competition.
(Above) The legendary front door of the Edelweiss Club in Hell’s Kitchen in Manhattan, New York City. This club was packed with transvestites, transexuals, crossdressers, and admirer’s of all. It was literally Hell on Earth. ” On my first visit, I walked through the door and insantly three Hispanic trannys unzipped my pants, pulled them down, and gave me oral in front of everyone. There was no reaction from any customer. I knew why when I went down the steps. Sex, drugs and prostitution where everywhere. I danced on the dance floor, then went to the bathroom where everyone was having sex with each other to smoke weed and then have sex , myself, and then get a beer and dance on the dance floor again. I repeated this all night and into the morning hours. At closing, I always found a tranny with an apartment nearby. Not one single time, did I go home alone. Not once. No other club that I have ever been into can come close to the Club Edelweiss in Hell’s Kitchen. It is the standard to which I judge all other clubs. I laugh at Studio 54 and the Viper Room. They are child’s play. Police never entered the Edleweiss Club even once for many years, so it was anything goes. Only when the neighbors complained about the piles of condoms and needles did the police finally take action. I miss this place so much that I actually weep sometimes. Nobody believes my story, yet it is easily verified by searching for Club Edelweiss on the internet. For a moment in time, I had something special. I closed my eyes and it was gone forever. It now belongs to the legends.”- Teacher Jack
