Jason got his start in media production by crafting YouTube travel videos. His journey in the world of film & video took a significant turn in 2021 when he attended an Orlando Independent Filmmakers challenge to support his wife, Michelle, who was featured in a short film. The immersive experience of watching local filmmakers’ short films throughout the day ignited his passion for narrative filmmaking.

In 2022, Jason took a bold step by participating in another local OIF film challenge, submitting his very first short film. This submission garnered remarkable recognition, receiving nine nominations and clinching two prestigious awards, including the coveted Best Lead Actress award for Michelle.

In addition to his flourishing filmmaking pursuits, Jason is a Senior Digital Transformation Manager at Universal Studios Destinations & Experiences. He is an alumnus of Evangel University, holding a degree in communications.
