Bio
Xavier Jenkins
It was a pleasure working with Jason. He was the ultimate teammate. A person who understood what it meant to collaborate so that each of us was better in the end. He brought a certain tenacity born, I'm sure, from his background in competitive sports. His ability to focus on on a specific goal is something to admire. His ability to focus allows him understand which role is key, team leader, role player or individual contributor, and play that role effectively. I valued him as a teammate and colleague.
Ben Osborne
The magazine I edit, SLAM, has a 17-plus-year history as the best-selling basketball publication in the world. What we were very late to, however, was an internet strategy. The gains we have made online and with social media (to 500,000 unique monthly visitors, 60,000+ Twitter followers @SLAMonline, 36,000+ friends on Facebook) have been in large part to Jason Rowley’s work as a consultant to SLAM over the last five years, and I hope the relationship continues for many more years. I highly recommend his work to anyone looking to grow their audience online (and who isn’t these days?!)
