Jason is a mountain man at heart. Growing up in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado he found himself transplanted to the south via a tour in The United States Air Force. The Blue Ridge Mountains and Greenville area quickly won his heart and he has called the Upstate home for 30 years. Currently he resides in Travelers Rest with his wife and four children.

Professionally Jason has functioned over the past 22 years as a Critical Care/ Flight Paramedic. Having a profound desire to be in a position to help those who cannot otherwise help themselves he dove headfirst into prehospital medicine finding his place in Paramedicine. His career started serving with a high volume 911 provider and after 8 years segued into Flight Medicine. He served as a Flight Paramedic on a medical helicopter for 13 years including serving as the programs Base Medical Manager for the latter 2 years. This venture truly tested and redefined his skill set in prehospital medicine by placing him in circumstances he would not otherwise anticipate requiring him to treat “the worst of the worst.” The challenge however was met with humble pride as he truly got to make differences in strangers’ lives.  

In September 2017 his profession took him to the Caribbean where he served for 6 weeks in Puerto Rico and St Croix as the Operations Director for FEMA with medical flight operations after Hurricane Maria decimated the area.  Year’s of experience with Prehospital Critical Care Medicine helped him navigate through a disaster of unprecedented proportion leading multiple flight teams with the challenges of evacuating the sick and injured to destinations of safety while also caring for the needs of the teams in a disaster ravaged place.

In 2019 Jason hung up his flight wings and continued his career as a Critical Care Paramedic with a hospital transport service. This challenged him even further with complicated ICU transfers and was humbly embraced.

Ultimately that desire to continue serving those who need help led him to his current role at the Greenville Ketamine Center. He is humbled to already be witness to the profound effects we can have on the lives of those otherwise suffering. He finds himself truly blessed to be in this newfound position.

In his free time Jason serves in several ministries with his church and leads on international medical mission trips biding his time between Nicaragua and Kenya annually.  When time permits you can find him navigating a hiking trail or casting a fishing line in a lake. Through it all he remains a mountain man at heart!
