Jay was born in Clearwater, Fl. A graduate of the Largo High class of 1987, where he played football.

He was a graduate of St. Petersburg College, attended University of Central Florida, and Florida State University as a Criminology major. Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity alumnae. In addition to being an entrepreneur, Jay worked in a variety of I.T. careers at Home Shopping Network, Tech Data, Fibrenew, and Avaya. He was currently working at Marathon Billboards.

Jay will be remembered most for his youthful approach to life. As a child he was sweet, joyful, energetic, and kind, which he continued into adulthood (and sometimes a prankster too). The world was a better place with him in it.
