In their own words, via the Town

Jason currently lives with his family in the Glen Williams area of Ward 2. He has been married for 27 years to his wife Jane, and they have two adult children, Austin, and Darien. As a passionate member of the community, Jason is a dedicated volunteer. He has been the Vice-Chair of the Board for the Halton Hills Chamber of Commerce and currently acts as a board member with the Bennett Centre long term care home in Georgetown. In addition to his community involvement, he is also the proud owner of Terra Cotta Foods Ltd. In his next chapter of community service, as a Ward 2 Councillor, Jason is looking forward to serving his constituents in the community that he both lives in, and cares deeply for.
