Bio
Gary Palmer ICMA-CM, AICP, CMFO
As Assistant Town Manager for the Town of Farragut, I have had the opportunity to work with Jason for several years. During his tenure Jason has professionally managed several programs and projects; all with successuful results and great accolades for the Town. When Jason oversees any initiative I am confident it will be handled professionally with no supervision needed. I often consult Jason on my own projects/programs/initiatives because I respect his opinion and innovative insight. Jason's range of abilities spans the entire local government spectrum. Jason would be an asset to any organization and successful in any role be it a program manager or supervisor. While I am glad he is a part of my team it is my pleasure to recommend him for any position. Gary Palmer Assistant Town Manager Town of Farragut, TN 865.356.2938

Adept in creative pursuits as well as hands-on projects requiring doses of elbow grease, Jason adds a dynamic sense of innovation to the many projects he touches. Those who work closely with Jason are well aware of the easy-to-identify success markers credited to him in his work with education and outreach and public involvement. As an AmeriCorps service member under his supervision, I could not have asked for a better mentor. Jason equips those around him with the tools and freedom necessary to fly in a variety of projects while he continues to serve as a resource when direction is desired. Beyond his technical capabilities as a Stormwater Coordinator, Jason brings a captivating sense of service to the work he does that in turn empowers those around him to embrace this line of work with a sense of whimsy, fun, and community-mindedness.
