Jason's foray into junior athletics began at the North Rocks/Carlingford Little Athletics Club.
Developing a particular fondness for the longer distance events, Jason then moved to Parramatta Little Athletics Club, where he trained under
the tutelage of Sylvia Gregson. In early 2004, Jason changed squads for a third time to train with a newly established squad coached by Grant Cremer,
alongside Tomas Do Canto, Matthew Jackson and the trio of Heidi, Bianca and Keith Gregson.
A popular athlete with his peers, Jason's favourite movies include Pre - Without Limits, Deuce Bigalo - Male Gigalo, Beaches and
A Walk To Remember. He counts Grant Cremer, Steve Prefontaine and Chris Lew amongst his role models.
