Though he has never formally studied composition in any form, Jason is progressively earning the respect of his peers as a serious composer.  During his undergraduate studies, he received numerous commissions from professors and colleagues.  Conductors are also enjoying Jason's original and creative arrangements for band and wind ensemble. While at Baylor, Jason was a student of Michael Haithcock, Jeffrey Grogan, and Dr. Larry Vanlandingham.

As a musician, Jason has performed as a member of many notable organizations, including: the Baylor Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, and Symphony Orchestra; the Baylor Concert Band (on clarinet); and the Troopers Drum and Bugle Corps.

Although he enjoys the creative outlet available to him through composition, Jason remains committed to his lifelong dream of teaching. He currently serves as an assistant band director at Dulles Middle School in the Fort Bend Independent School District; Sugar Land, Texas. He recorded his first film score in the summer of 2000, Passing By; a film by David M. Chandler and G. Kent Rabalais.

Such notable groups and individuals as the Chicago Brass Choir, The Baylor University Symphonic Band, Dr. Kevin Chairizzio; professor of Trombone at Baylor, and many public school bands and orchestras have performed Jason's music. His original works and arrangements have been performed at Baylor University, The University of Minnesota, Ole Miss University, Syracuse University, and Arizona State University. He is in constant demand as an arranger for band and his arrangements have been heard in states throughout the country including Texas, New York, New Mexico, Maryland, Ohio, Florida, Kentucky, and Minnesota. In 2002 he was awarded an ‘honorable mention' in the Metropolitan Wind Symphony Commissioning Competition for "Pictures for the American People" a piece for wind ensemble based on the paintings of American artist Norman Rockwell.

Professional affiliations include the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA), the Texas Bandmasters Association (TBA), the Percussive Arts Society (PAS), the Houston Composers Alliance (HCA), and the World Association for Symphonic Bands and Ensembles (WASBE).  He is a resident member of the Center for the Promotion of Contemporary Composers (CPCC), and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).
