Jack Branagan's career change from teacher to performer began in 1980. Jack had been teaching fourth grade for eight years when he decided to become a children's performer. Jack's first program was The Big Bug Show. The following year, he created Our Home Planet Earth. To date, "Jack Branagan's Earth Matters" also include The Incredible Brain, The Ice Age and Its Mammoth Hunters, It's All in a Drop, Rainforests, - The Web of Life, and his newest addition Vanishing Habitats - The Earth Speaks.

Jack's successful career over the past 29 years has accounted for more than 8,000 performances held in more than 2,500 schools throughout New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Delaware, and Connecticut. Jack is also very proud of his repeat performances held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City and The New Jersey State Museum in Trenton.
Jack's teaching experiences, techniques, creativity, and the ability to understand his young audiences are the key ingredients which help convey the contents of his programs.
