Anyone know a one or two word to describe this person? I was originally thinking Renassaince man, but it doesn't seem to fit.

I'm trying to praise him. It sounds like Renaissance Man might be the best fit? What if it's a female? Renaissance Woman doesn't hold the same meaning because I read that the renaissance woman stays at home to take care of the children.

I think limiting it to one or two words will not work.
Such people are called "All-around Hand" on a ranch or farm, but what you will usually find is that they are referenced as "Can do whatever they turn their hand to"
"Jack of all trades" is only half an expression, the rest is "master of none"

RE:
What's another word for someone who has expertise in a variety of all fields, a "jack of trades" essentially?

The complete phrase is:
"Jack of all trades, master of none, though ofttimes better than master of one."
Are you looking to praise him or put him down?
I would use "Jack of all trades" if you are denigrating the fact that he is a generalist.
I would stick with the phrase "Renaissance Man" if you are praising his skills as a generalist.
Other terms people use are Polymath and Homo Universalis.

A sarcastic term is "know it all".
