As a child, Hoffman grew up loving the outdoors, much like his father; they often spent time fishing and hunting, especially since it was their food source. Later on he was drafted into the military for the Vietnam War, and he would also become a bush pilot, which made him very familiar with navigating through and surviving in the Alaskan terrain. He was also stationed in Germany, where he stayed for five years with his wife. With the money he earned from military service as well as their family’s wealth, they opened an airport as well as acquiring a few properties in Sandy, Oregon. Around this time, he also tried his hand at mining for gold in Alaska, but never really struck his fortune.
His son Todd eventually went back to Alaska on a mission to find and acquire gold. This decision led the family to be approached by Discovery Channel for the show “Gold Rush”, and it has since become very popular on the channel. Jack sold their family property in order to move to Alaska and hopefully find riches there; he served mainly as a machine operator though he’s still very good with firearms. He usually runs the 400 Excavator, and has been known to push equipment over the limit during the show. He was hired as part of his son’s idea for the show, since he has a lot of experience mining. Since the start of the show they’ve been very successful, and aside from the gold, Hoffman is said to earn around $300,000 per season of “Gold Rush”. One of the biggest hauls they found was $20 million worth of gold in the Klondike Mountains.
Aside from the television show, Hoffman can often be seen on his YouTube channel. Jack Hoffman is the father of Todd Hoffman, and also a member of the Hoffman Group.
For his personal life, it is known that he is married to Georgia and they have two children, one of whom, Todd Hoffman is a part of “Gold Rush”. The couple met when they were 15 years old and Georgia even followed Jack to Germany where they lived while he was serving in the military. He’s also known to be very religious, and leads the team in prayer before they start work.
