  • Jason is a true professional and is a joy to work with. He treats all of his employees like family and gives them every opportunity to shine in their role. During my time working for him, I can say that he gives 100 percent of himself to the team, always. Jason has taught me many things during my time working for him. Through his leadership he taught me how to be professional, how to be efficient with my time and workflow, and he taught me how to make the workplace a fun and enjoyable place to be. Jason is always there for his team, having an “open door” policy when it comes to his employees. I am extremely grateful to have had Jason as my boss for as long as I did. The three words that come to mind when I think of Jason are: Professional, leader and friend.
