Hi! I'm Jack Slocum, and I am a local editor for Patch.com, covering primarily Morristown, Mendham/Chester, Long Valley, Parsippany, and Wayne. My email is jack.slocum@patch.com, and I am open to any questions, concerns, or news tips you might have for me. I have been a dedicated journalist for the last five years and am proud to help you stay in the loop. I graduated from Ramapo College of New Jersey in 2021 with a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism. When I'm not writing or out in the field, you can find me playing my guitar, cooking in the kitchen, or (rather poorly) swinging a golf club.
