Bio
Robert Finkelstein
Jason is the guy you want to have in your corner. If great ideas can come from anywhere, Jason is one of the few who can actually bring those ideas to life, often bettering them along the way. While most people focus on a core discipline, Jason’s discipline is being well informed across many disciplines. It is his breadth of knowledge and desire to conquer the impossible that make Jason the visionary he is.
Dawn S.
I’m pleased to provide a reference for such a wonderful person. Jason manages with both his head and heart. He has the talent to manage difficult, stressful situations with poise and passion. Jason’s staff respected his knowledge and skills, and knew they had a mentor who would allow them to demonstrate their own unique talents and ideas. We worked in a high-paced, highly stressful environment where critical thinking skills were required 100% of the time. Jason had the ability operate in that environment with admirable dedication to the clients he served.
