Meet Jason
Musical Background
Jason has been a musician about as long as he's been alive. His first love was singing and playing the piano, which he started learning at age 6. He grew up singing in church at an a capella church of Christ in Dallas, TX, where his dad was a deacon and song leader.
Jason sang in the choir and played in the band all through school, and he excelled at singing, playing the keyboard, and playing the trombone. He got a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music Performance from Oklahoma Christian University in 2008.
Jason was a high school band and guitar teacher in Wauchula, Florida from 2015 to 2021, where he picked up guitar playing. He started writing songs while a music major at OC, and has developed a catalog of original music ranging in style from Christian Worship to country to funky blues-rock. All of his music has a relaxed groove that matches his laid-back personality.
In Florida, Jason became a familiar face performing at community events, festivals, restaurants and parties. He also played regularly for church praise bands in the area.
He is currently serving as Worship and Discipleship Minister at Hope Christian Church in Augusta, West Virginia, leading worship services every Sunday morning!
Personal Life
Jason has been blessed with a beautiful family: his lovely wife Melody, and their three young boys (featured in the Normal Guy music video!). They live in Hampshire County, West Virginia, where they both serve at Hope Christian Church in Augusta, WV. Jason is the Worship and Discipleship Minister at the church and Melody serves with the children's ministry.
Jason grew up in Carrollton, Texas and has been involved in church his whole life. After graduating from Oklahoma Christian University, he took a brief 7-year hiatus from performing and teaching music, during which he and Melody got married, moved to Florida for Melody's work, and had their first baby. Jason then returned to first love, music, by getting his Florida teacher's certification and starting to teach music at Hardee Senior High School in Wauchula.
Jason was formerly the Band Director and Guitar Teacher at Hardee Senior High School in Wauchula, FL from 2015 to 2021.
Jason's desire is to support his family and to do good in the world through writing and performing music while partnering with Christian charities and missions organizations in West Virginia.
