In 1999 he took a nine-month sabbatical from BPA to serve on Governor Kitzhaber's staff as a liaison to the Willamette Restoration Initiative, a public/private partnership appointed by the governor to develop a comprehensive watershed restoration program for the Willamette River.
Before moving to Oregon, Jock worked with the Education Policy Research Institute, a branch of the Educational Testing Service in Washington, D.C. During the late 1970s he served for three years as a legislative assistant to a New York member of Congress.
