Show Guest
Jack Cassidy
Jack Cassidy is a tech and telecom expert turned shotgun enthusiast. He worked as the head of many companies such as Cincinnati Bell and Cyrus One, and oversaw the development of products we take for granted, such as the cell phone. Forbes Magazine once dubbed him “the most honest man in telecom.” His escape from the rigors of corporate life were time spent in the field working with his Brittany spaniels, shooting sporting clays and doing charity work. He was the head of “Boomer’s Big Shoot,” a sporting clays charity event for the Boomer Esiason Foundation. Over the years, the event raised more than $6.5 million dollars to help fight cystic fibrosis. Two years ago he realized a lifelong dream when he purchased Woodside Plantation in SC. The plantation features quail hunting using a mule drawn wagon and great pointing and flushing dogs. The plantation house was built in 1871 and is a destination for those wishing to experience quail hunting in the true Southern tradition.
