Puget Sound Pirates

Jonathan and Crew reenact a mini Pirate Drama Live in Studio!

Jonathan Edward Savage, aka "Jack Savage" or "Gunner"

Jack Savage was born a pirate and comes from a long line of privateers and pirates who have spent almost their entire life at sea.  Jack (also known as Gunner) was marooned on a tiny spit of an island in the Caribbean for allegedly cheating at cards and drinking all the rum on board ship.  A passing ship found him there, more dead than alive.  Jack’s quick tongue convinced the Captain of personal wealth if he took Gunner to the port where he’d hid the treasure, but as soon as they neared land, Gunner jumped ship and swam to freedom.  Some say Jack Savage got the nickname “Blackjack” because he wins so much at cards.  But those that knows him, knows he got his name because he is as deadly with cards as he is with cannon and pistols.  A skilled Master Gunner with cannon, musket, pistol or blunderbuss (when he’s sober), he also enjoys carving up anyone who gets in his way with his Russian Kindjals.  Jonathan Edward Savage holds the rank of Master Gunner.

Jonathan Edward Savage is played by Brian Beaulac, the Director and owner of the Puget Sound Pirates: Pacific Northwest Privateers, and a professional Training and Organization Development consultant during the week.  The rest of the time, Brian is a retired US Army non-commissioned officer and a true adrenaline junkie, who loves his family, his motorcycle, anybody's kids, performing any time he gets the chance and most anything you can die at.  In his free time Brian enjoys teaching, woodworking and riding his Harley.
