Bio
Lauren Fine
Jason was hired as a Desktop Support Specialist in 2019 to support two Global Esports Leagues. From day 1, Jason was hungry to learn, jumping head-first into providing stage support for Overwatch League and BlizzCon. Jason is customer service oriented, with a cool and calm demeanor that’ll make any stakeholder feel at ease. As a technical expert supporting live Esports broadcasts, Jason is skilled at providing top tier support in fast paced and high-pressure environments. He is always willing to step in and help out, and eager to keep learning more. I had the opportunity to work on site with Jason at events, and can attest he is easy to work with, reliable, and overall a pleasure to have had on the team. He will be an asset to any team he joins in the future, and I highly recommend him.

I had the pleasure of working with Jason and he was the consummate professional. Jason was very organized and solution oriented. He was working in a high-pressure situation with multiple stakeholders and I was impressed with how he maintained his composure, quickly identified the challenge, and deployed a solution. Jason was also recognized as an 'Unsung Hero' due to both his humility and his work product excellence. I would highly recommend Jason!
