He was born on September 5, 1980, in Rutherfordton, North Carolina, and graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2003. Moving to Los Angeles that summer, Jason immediately began a short film program at Universal Studios, where he wrote, directed and edited three short
films. The last of these, "Once Upon a Time In Hollywood," earned him an assistant job on the Steven Spielberg film "The Terminal." Working for the next several years as an assistant on different film and television productions, Jason continued to write screenplays. One of these, "Anticipation," was optioned by Alliance Films in 2005. In 2006, Jason moved to Romania to act as Vice President of International Productions for Chainsaw Europe, a Los Angeles based production company. While there, he also co-founded and acted as Creative Director for Epidemic Viral Advertising, writing and directing commercials for Toyota, Save the Children (for which he was nominated for a Cannes Golden Lion), Axe Body Spray, Saatchi & Saatchi, Ogilvy and others. 2019 looks to be a stand out year with two films and several television series in the works.
