A Dayton/Cincinnati native, he relocated to Cleveland in 2005 and resides in Cleveland’s Ohio City neighborhood.

Personally, Jason is a passionate sports fan and an avid baseball follower and can be found many summer evenings at a Cleveland Indians game or enjoying a craft beer from one of Cleveland’s many growing breweries.
