Bryan C. Jack was an American economist, mathematician, and professor as well as a US Defense Department analyst and executive.[2][3][4]

Jack was killed as a passenger on American Airlines Flight 77[5] that crashed into the Pentagon, where he worked, during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.[6][7]

Jack was a Director of Programming and Fiscal Economics at the US Department of Defense and Adjunct Professor of Economics at The George Washington University. He resided in Alexandria, Virginia[8] and New York City with his wife, artist Barbara Rachko.

He was twice awarded the Defense Exceptional Service Medal (1998 and 2000)[9] and posthumously received both the Defense Distinguished Civilian Service Medal and the Defense of Freedom Medal.[10] The Defense Department now awards the Bryan Jack Award for Distinguished Defense Analysis in his honor and Stanford Business School established a memorial scholarship in his name.[11]

Jack's life story was featured in the 2016 book Finding Fifteen by Tim Oliver.[12]
