My Story
When Jason was four years old he wrote a letter to Santa asking for a dinosaur bone and a rock
from the moon. While his dream of becoming an astronaut paleontologist didn't pan out, his
love of the unknown and his innate curiosity haven't left him. As a full-time speaker, trainer, and
coach, he has shifted his focus from finding answers to scientific questions to helping others
answer questions like, "Why do I exist?" Through a variety of life experiences, he has come to
understand the power of questions and that if we want to change our lives, we have to change
our questions.
Jason grew up on a small farm in the middle of a Portland, OR suburb. He attributes the development of his core values and most of the lessons he’s learned in life to his agricultural upbringing.
When Jason was six years old he had the opportunity to emcee his community talent show. He played a small part, but in the process became obsessed with speaking. Since then, he has worked with audiences in 40 states, China, Japan, South Africa, and The Netherlands. He speaks about
leadership, and personal development, and tells stories about his Grandma Dorothy.
He and his wife currently live in NW Arkansas with their two mini-Aussies, Finn & Lucy. In his spare time, he coaches wrestling, brews beer, travels,and watches whatever show his wife picks out on Netflix. With everything Jason does, he has one goal: to make the lives of other people better.
