Born in Bolivia, NC, Jason grew up thinking he would either be a veterinarian or a lawyer. Instead, after discovering there was no college money at home, he sought out scholarship opportunities late in his senior year. With no other options before him besides that of a NC Teaching Fellows Scholarship, he applied and then followed the path laid before him to Appalachian State University. He half-heartedly chose a music education degree his freshman year with plans to switch to an English Literature degree during his junior year of college. Though he failed the entrance exam to the college of music, he went on to excel in vocal and music studies, performing along the way, while pursuing his newly discovered passion for establishing communities of artists within the local church. Jason currently serves on staff at Life Fellowship Church with Dr. Bobby Conway (aka The One Minute Apologist), is the Creative Director for Illumination Choir, and performs in various concerts and events around the Charlotte Metro area.
