About
Howdy, my name is Jason 😊
I'm from the United States, where I live with my family. I've always had a passion for technology—especially Linux-based operating systems, coding, web servers, and everything in between. Some of my favorite tools include VS Code, NeoVim, and Git. I also enjoy creating occasional tech videos for my YouTube channel.
Outside of technology, I'm drawn to topics like discipline, military history, productivity, genealogy, finance, and health and fitness. I also enjoy DIY projects, whether it's building a custom desk or constructing a backyard pergola. I'm a proud Christian and enjoy attending church.
My interest in tech started early. As a teenager, I ran my own computer repair business, making house calls and fixing systems for local businesses. One of my first marketing strategies was placing ads on pizza boxes at a local restaurant. A few years later, I moved into web development—designing sites and hosting them on my own servers.
Today, I work for a large software company, helping people and customers accomplish their goals. Outside of work, I stay busy with family life and supporting my kid's sports activities.

Thanks for visiting! 🍻

Microsoft BPOS & Office 365
