After graduating from North Park Theological Seminary in 2008, he accepted the call to become the pastor of Youth and Children at Karmel Covenant Church and served in that capacity for 11 years. In 2019 Jason became the Lead Pastor here at Karmel. 

Jason and Jackie married in 2001 and they have four growing children. He enjoys staying active and can often be found on our Karmel ball-field or on one of the local pickleball courts.
