Jason was born in the shadows of the Bridger Mountains and, with the exception of four years spent at Fort Sam Houston with the army, has lived in Montana his entire life. He currently calls East Helena home, where he lives with his wife, youngest son, and their two dogs, Tux and Sweetie.
​
Jason works as an IT specialist for a small nonprofit that provides services to the developmentally disabled. Outside of work, he is a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism where he has spent the past thirty-plus years studying and sharing his love for fencing.
​
His two main vices are collecting guitars and guns, both of which make great stress relievers. His favorites are a Fender Vintera '60s Mustang and a BSA Majestic Featherweight .30-06.​
Jason earned his Bachelor of Arts in software engineering from Carroll College and his Master of Fine Arts in creative writing as well as his graduate certification in professional writing from Southern New Hampshire University.
