Jason graduated from high school with a 3.9 GPA and a perfect score on his AP English exam. An All-State football player and captain of his team junior and senior year, his aspirations of having a college career were cut short after a diving accident left him paralyzed. Jason decided to pursue writing, another one of his many talents. At USC, he was a student in the School of Journalism as well as a staple of the Trojan sidelines during football practice. Jason was eventually invited by Pete Carroll to sit on the sidelines at the USC-Notre Dame game during his senior year as a welcomed member of the Trojan football team. He is now writing comic books.
