Born in Panama, raised in Brooklyn, Jason began telling stories from a young age, sending his G.I. Joe on adventures all through the house. Jason attended Brooklyn Technical High School, graduated from Holy Cross High School, and earned varsity honors at McNeese State University basketball team. Jason played professional basketball for 5 years, in France, Chile, Saudi Arabia, while also being cut twice by the New York Knicks. Jason’s basketball career saw him earn a role in Spike Lee’s ‘He Got Game’ and bring him into the Nike family.

Jason received his first camera from his dad who told him to capture as many moments as possible. He still has that camera, a Fuji Discovery.

Jason worked with Nike on 8 commercials, 12 global campaigns, in a consultative role. Jason then earned his MBA from Purdue University, beginning his marketing career in earnest. Jason took on Foot Locker’s social media accounts, taking them from barely relevant to millions of followers with viral and engaging content, including Kevin Durant playing at Dyckman Park, and Amar’e Stoudemire getting a job during the NBA lockout.

As a Marketer, Jason has worked on a number of brand campaigns, but his love of film and desire to direct pushed Jason to self-finance creative projects and take on contracts that allowed him to showcase his filmmaking skills. Jason’s goals are to win an Emmy for Oustanding Director and an Academy Award for Best Director.
