He wrestled all through high school in Del City where he graduated in 1993, and from there obtained his bachelor’s degree from Wichita State University in 2001 and then his master’s degree at Oklahoma State University in 2007. Jason was a teacher for many years, and also coached soccer, wrestling, football, and baseball, and was a “cheer dad” to his daughters as well. Jason’s hobbies included weightlifting, and he won many awards for it, including Mr. Teen Oklahoma, Mr. Oklahoma, and first place for Red River Classic Bodybuilding.

Jason loved being a father; he was faithful about attending the annual daddy/daughter dances and loved taking his children to abandoned towns around the state. He loved being out in the country and dreamt of someday owning a farm. He will be remembered for always being helpful to others, and for being a #1 dad.
