A native from Montville, New Jersey, it only took Jason one visit to Syracuse University to realize that this is where he wanted to be.  As a dual major in Finance and Television/Radio/Film in the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Jason wants to work one day in the movie/television industry.  Jason is a member of Zamboni Revolution, a Syracuse University improv comedy group that is performing this summer in New York City.  He is also an assistant producer for Float Your Boat, a Syracuse University sketch comedy group and a brother of the fraternity Phi Delta Theta.

This summer, Jason spent the majority of his time working for Killer Bunny Entertainment, a television production company in New York City.  When he was not developing new pilot and show ideas, Jason was helping with Gotham Comedy Live, a broadcasted show from the Gotham Comedy Club.  Additionally, Jason worked with TV Concepts, a commercial filming company, in New Jersey, and for Brand Aid Digital, a Public Relations firm that helps pharmaceutical companies create digital strategies to help better target their audience.

Jason wants to continue to work hard going into his Sophomore year, making the most of his time at Syracuse University, learning how finance can be applied to both the television and movie industries.  And always, bleeding orange.
