He was adopted by a Marine at the age of 5. At the age of 16, moved to the great state of Florida where he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 2004 at the age of 18. Jason served two combat deployments and was injured on his last tour of duty by an improvised explosive device (IED). He was honorably discharged after nearly 10 years of service as a Sergeant.
