Jason is an awesome detail oriented manager

Nick Pencis

Jason is very detail oriented, which is essential to running a touring road show. I worked with Jason in two different scenarios: The first being a participant of a former tour (my band was traveling as support for Galactic). Jason was cordial, focused, task driven, and worked very hard to achieve a flawless hitch free show. I also worked with Jason as a caterer for a Galactic show. He communicated very well and punctually as we discussed the logistics of off site catering. On site the day of the event, Jason had a game plan and we were able to set-up with ease.

Dan Tidcomb, TCEcD

I always looked forward to working with Jason. He is/was one of the good guys, employed a professional demeanor, and went the extra mile to achieve winning results. His creativity and firm understanding of the big picture made it a pleasure to work with.
