He served as a board member for Gulf Swimming for 6 years and was the TAGS representative for Gulf Swimming for 4 years. He has been selected to be on several Gulf travel teams and has run a clinic for the Gulf LSC.

His passion for coaching and skill-driven teaching methods has earned him recognition as the Gulf LSC Age Group Coach of the Year in 2012, 2015 and 2016. Jason has experience coaching Masters, and Developmental Age Groupers through National level swimmers. Under his coaching his swimmers have excelled at all levels of competitions.
