After spending his childhood on a farm in Indiana, Jason majored in Economics and minored in Political Science and Philosophy at Purdue University. He used that background to enter the most logical field—youth ministry, working at a Lutheran church in Minnesota. Then, after a brief stint as a middle school teacher, Jason took his first position as a hospice outreach and education coordinator. Twenty-four years later, Jason is still passionate about educating people about hospice care, advance care planning, and other end-of-life topics/issues.
