Jason served in the United States Army as a Forward Observer with the 101st Airborne and was wounded in Iraq in 2003.

He is a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Jason has seen first-hand the impact a counselor can have on a veteran’s life after service and enjoys working in a supporting role for our nation’s heroes.
