Writing Life

Jason writes Holiday Flicks, Love Stories, & Funny Gay Sh*t — sometimes all at once.

Professional Life

I have a B.A. from Purdue University in mass communication: professional and journalistic writing, with a minor in English.

I'm also have a Master’s degree from the Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, where I was president of the 2014 class.

Personal Life

I'm a corn-fed, Indiana boy who moved to New York City on a one-way ticket in January of 2012. I had no job, $900, and knew two people. (Naive much?) Thankfully, getting into grad school saved me from the city's wrath in May of that year. An unpaid internship and being a barista wasn’t cutting it.

Since then I bounced back to Indiana, then a 5-year stink in Minneapolis, and returned to NYC in 2021.

I drink twice as much coffee as I should, read half as much as I should, and work out just enough.
