Jason joined our North Park staff in August of 2017. Jason spent the previous 20 years of his career in the commercial real estate industry. Instead of working with Landlords to fill their warehouse buildings with Tenants and expand their respective portfolios, Jason has surrendered to the full-time mission of serving the Lord in expanding His Kingdom. Jason and his wife, Melissa, have 4 kids and 1 grandchild so needless to say they love getting away for a few hours from time to time for a quiet date night. Jason, a self-professed “bleacher coach”, also enjoys helping his kids in their various sporting activities.
