Jason attended Washington State School of engineering, and apprenticed summers programming and operating large Computer Numeric Control cutting machines. After college he joined Machinists Inc. full-time where continued his professional growth, helping to develop the innovative systems currently in use in several projects at Seattle Solstice.
In early 2006 he joined Stuart Kendall in founding Seattle Solstice. Over the past decade Jason and the team have produced numerous acclaimed projects throughout the Pacific Northwest, and across the nation, helping establish Seattle Solstice as a leader in the field of large-scale stone and glass sculpture and water features.
