Captain Jack Neiman is a true world traveler. 

He got his chance to see the globe the hard way - by participating in a lot of wars: World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Cold War. He spent a lot of time in the Navy and was able to see a lot of the world while he was in the service. 

After so much activity, Captain Jack took early retirement from the Navy in 1963 and, at the age of 39, got involved in the field of property caretaking. Captain Jack started his caretaking career at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, in eastern Tennessee, right on the North Carolina border. 

He stayed for one summer, working at the hikers' guest house called LeConte Lodge on top of Old Smoky Mountain along the scenic trail there. He truly enjoyed that caretaking experience and, after spending so many years at sea, wanted to settle down into a land-based caretaking lifestyle. 

As fate would have it, though, Capt. Jack got sidetracked from caretaking when he delivered an airplane to Bolivia. He readily took to the Bolivian culture and didn't want to leave right away. 

Five years after his Bolivian adventure, Capt. Jack got back on track with caretaking when he landed an exceptional job as a caretaker for an American physician, through an ad he found in the pages of The Caretaker Gazette. The doctor's home was built on a warm, paradise island. The island, Roatan Island, is one of Hondura's three Bay Islands. It is located about 30 miles north of the Honduran coast, and east of the Gulf of Honduras.
