Jason ยท Commodore ยท Connoisseur ยท Aviator ยท Self-Appointed
Welcome to Napa. Please keep your hands and feet inside the vineyard at all times.
Your call is important to us. The Mayor is currently on another line, a boat, or a wine club pickup. Please remain on hold.
Jason began his public service career in 1996, answering MSN dial-up support calls and talking strangers through modem handshakes. Through years of resetting TCP/IP stacks, he learned the patience, diplomacy, and ability to say "is it plugged into the phone jack?" that would later define his administration.
Today he serves as Commodore of the yacht club, holds membership in at least five wine clubs, and works as a highly successful Sales Engineer, a role that has taught him to demo anything, including himself as Mayor.
When the Mayor is not in session, he can be found piloting small aircraft over the valley, or in the garage with the First Lady tending to the official municipal fleet: a couple of Porsches.
