With over 20 years professional playing experience, Jason has had the opportunity to play in many musical settings and situations. Whether it’s the small jazz club setting of the famed Baked Potato in Los Angeles or the 40,000 fans at the Creation Festival in Mount Union PA, Jason approaches every musical situation with a super pro attitude and unsurpassed preparation. 

His influences include any drummer that has ever played with James Brown, Steve Ferrone, Dennis Chambers, Dave Weckl, Marvin McQuitty, and Buddy Rich just to name a few.
