Jason and his wife have been married for fifteen years, and together for twenty five. They enjoy their time together hiking and camping in the northern Saskatchewan forest with their two dogs. Over the years Jason has self taught many valuable skills and trades including plumbing and mechanics. He rebuilt his 1971 Chevelle, changing the drive train and built a new motor for the potential of the 1/4 mile!

He grew up in Moose Jaw Saskatchewan and has been cooking from the young age of six helping measuring and mixing for Christmas baking. A complicated family dynamic in his early childhood made the ability to cook healthy meals harder for his family. He stepped up and started cooking meals for his family while experimenting with his own recipes from scratch. Cooking has since then become a passion, a past time and now a career path.

Through different fields of work, Jason has lead strong teams of various skill levels, teaching, guiding and motivating each employee to have a strong work ethic, communicate and strive for the best. He has managed inventory in different fields of work over the years and is exited to develop nutritious menus to promote good eating habits and healthy choices in all LELC children.
