Did you catch my name?

I am a design, development, and leadership professional with 20+ years in the marketing and advertising industry; and yes, I know how to use both an Oxford comma and a semicolon. I am a proud husband, father, and nerd. I also know a thing or two about web design. Check out my Resumé and Portfolio for proof. The name’s Jason, by the way.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Jason for over 4 years. As my creative director, he brought more than just his design and industry knowledge to the table. He is the heart of the team as well as the manager, making sure the project is completed effectively by working with everyone as a group and individual. He encourages people to flourish within their respective field and offers support and advice on effective solutions to any issues that may arise. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with him and to learn from him as he helped me navigate the SEO and social media fields I was just stepping into so long ago. On top of that, his web design is out of this world. If you are looking for someone who will not just provide you with design, but become a pillar of your company and team, Jason is the guy for you.”

Richard Massey III, Media Producer & Instructional Media Specialist

“Jason is a fantastic manager with acute eyes focused on both every detail of production as well as the entire scale of the industry. His technical expertise is as impressive as his personal administrative style. As a team leader, Jason openly appreciated the contributions of his staff and encouraged their growth. It was a pleasure and privilege for me to work on his team.”

“I was hired by Jason and worked with him at First Web Marketing for almost three years. I have worked with many managers in my career and Jason is by far the most creative, multifaceted, and hard-working. His background is in design but he wore many hats while working at FWM—not only did he design user friendly and one-of-a-kind websites for clients, he also managed a team of writers and other web designers to ensure every website was flawless. Jason also championed the people he worked with and was always there when we had questions or concerns. When he believes in something he his fully committed and will ensure it’s the best that it can possibly be.”
