His interest in computers began in elementary school. Bored and curious, his dad's computers were handy outlets. As he puts it, “I've never been bored since!” He was into computer maintenance by the time he hit sixth grade and jumped right into networking as a Comm Arts freshmen.

Jason is a native San Antonian and has lived in the same home since his parents first brought him home from the hospital. A member of Alamo PC since March of 1995, Jason is one of the “Roadies” who helps with equipment setup and teardown at our monthly general meeting. Frequently, he's accompanied by friends/classmates Jeff Escamilla and Chris Mayer; at the grand opening of the Resource Center last year all three demonstrated for visitors the wondrous ways of the World Wide Web. In addition, Jason has authored several software reviews for the PC Alamode.

His energy and enthusiasm seemingly ceaseless, Jason lends his expertise to the San Antonio Children's Museum as well. There, he helped to establish the museum's presence on the Web, built —from the ground up — their interactive exhibit introducing kids and their parents to the Internet and helps to keep their computers in top operational form.

He has participated in the popular Internet Odyssey the past two years, as both a seminar facilitator and part of the network cable installation crew. He was a member of the Odyssey team which wired the Martin Luther King Jr. Middle School for the Internet and is designing a similar project for another school.

Never one to let a couch get warm when there's something computer related to accomplish, Jason has also used his talents to help with a computer literacy class for senior citizens — a joint venture between the OASIS senior citizens organization and the Communication Arts High School. He's not yet chosen a specific career but Jason is certain that he'll be right in the middle of the ongoing computer technology revolution. An exciting way to begin the new millennium!
