He married Pearl Mohammadi, his former spouse, in 2003, and to this union a beautiful daughter Ellie was born. He attended school at Lewis and Clark, Alameda, Pocatello High School, Ricks College and Idaho State University.

He was a member of The church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He loved youth activities, scouting, and playing church basketball. He served a mission in Pusan Korea from 1992-1994.

Recently, he served as a Primary teacher and loved teaching the 4 year old children the gospel. He was an amazing golfer and dreamed of owning his own golf course. Jason loved his daughter Ellie deeply. She was his joy and light.
