The Early Years
Jason's path to voice work began as a teen when he did vo for a local newspaper television commercial. It continued with high-school & college drama performances and evolved into radio work starting his senior year of high school. In radio, Jason bridged two worlds as a straight forward, no-nonsense newsperson and a more relaxed personality for Jazz and Rock formats.
Choosing journalism over disc jockeying, Jason became a videotape editor & copy writer at a local television station, and worked his way into becoming its youngest Newscast Producer at age 19.
What followed was more than 25 years of Emmy and AP award-winning journalism and entertainment work as a Producer, Field-Producer, Special Projects Producer, Executive Producer, and Assistant News Director.
Through it all, Jason was behind the cameras and microphones helping others hone their writing, reporting, recording and anchoring skills for news broadcasts, long-form programs, commercials and promos.
(Jason note: In other words, I TALKED! ALOT!)
Now, it's his turn to be heard!

The vagabond TV life took Jason from Kansas to California, back to Kansas, then to Indianapolis, Dallas, Atlanta (CNN) and finally the Tampa/St. Petersburg/Sarasota area.
As if all that traveling wasn't enough, covering the news took Jason all over the United States and the world. He's covered too many tornado aftermaths to recall, chased numerous Gulf-coast hurricanes, gotten a bit spacey for shuttle launches, traveled the national campaign trail, met presidents and paupers, gone undercover, gone to Germany, and has lots of stories to tell about an adventure to the Amazon. All of it in the name of journalism excellence of course! ;)
Currently living in the Sarasota, Florida area with his wife and two youngest children (twins!... for the second time in 2 decades!), Jason has worked full-time in voiceover since 2007 when he decided to roll the closing credits on his long television career.
Jason's current work includes a variety of TV and radio commercials at the local/regional level plus various recordings for corporations and organizations in the form of eLearning, Trade Show presentations, Marketing Videos and more.
As a 25-year veteran of news and entertainment programming, Jason is critically aware of just how important the proper read can be in getting a message across. Whether it's a 10-second promo, a 30-second commercial, dozens of eLearning pages or a 30-minute documentary, Jason strives for precision on your behalf.
