Jackson is a NYC-based actor born to a Broadway Stagehand Father and a Regional Actor Mother. He spent his early years sneaking onto his mother's sets and high-fiving his father's actors as they ran off the stage. After dropping swimming for the after-school play and then Boy Scouts for ballet, Jackson solidified his love for theater and the craft of acting at NHSi Northwestern pre-college theatre program where he learned just how far the craft can take you.

Jackson started his work as a teacher and artist through Clarkstown Theatre Company in middle school which culminated in his first directorial piece, Dear Brutus in 2019. Then at Syracuse University, he had the pleasure of working with Syracuse Stage in Disney The Little Mermaid, teacher's assisting through All Star Cast, and writing, directing, and producing an original play called Kykeon for his honors thesis. Within the program, he also attended Syracuse's London Semester at the Globe, the Tepper Semester in NYC, Sorkin Week in LA, and his notable roles were Iachimo in Cymbeline and Washington Roebling in The Bridge(a New Works, New Voices production).

After graduating college in 2023, Jackson returned to Northwestern University to mentor prospective performance majors at the pre-college program NHSi where he was once a cherub. He recently toured in the First National Tour of Meredith Wilson's Miracle on 34th Street. Now you can find him working alongside the director of the Joseph And The Technicolor Dreamcoat his parents met on, Brad Carroll, at Utah Shakespeare Festival in Something Rotten and She Loves Me.
