Jason also serves as the Faculty Coordinator for Internationalization on his campus, helping bring the world to the campus and opportunities for students on campus to get out into the world.

In his free time, Jason suffers from wanderlust and never ending home renovations. Jason is supported by his bride (Secondary English teacher), two very active teenage sons, and a deranged cat that considers it sport to wake everyone up in the middle of the night.
