He started out a yard man and has worked his way up to lead trainer and subject matter expert in the crude terminal. Over the years, Jason has worked on several special projects with his most recent being the training project manual for Crude Operations that took almost 2 years to complete.
Jason was baptized at First Baptist Church and later moved his membership to Central Baptist Church.
