Making amazing jerky is this veteran's latest mission
Merrick Vecchione is a Marine Corps veteran and the brains behind Jerky Jack's amazing flavors, such as Bloody Mary and Dr. Pepper and Jalapenos.

Merrick Vecchione is a Marine Corps veteran who spent 40 years in the restaurant business.


In 2017, he created Jerky Jack along with his wife and brother-in-law. They created salivating flavors such as Bloody Mary, Matlack Black Pepper, and a jerky fused with Dr. Pepper and Jalapenos.

They proudly add no additional preservatives or salt to their products. Not only do they sell fine meats online, but they are running a grassroots campaign to move their product at local farmer's markets, gun shows, and veterans' events.
