Not a Wieden + Kennedy alum, but once arm-wrestled Dave Kennedy (lost). Landed in Portland in 2001 after 5 years in Minneapolis shops. Wisconsin proud. Lover of toil, which makes sense, he’d become a writer, mountain chukar hunter, and steelhead flyfisher. Once spent a 178-day suffer festival chaining freight on an Alaskan tugboat and called it a sabbatical. Promised Jenn soon after he’d never pull a stunt like that again.

Client quote: “Jason is the most authentically talented writer Orvis has ever had. Completely self-managed. We were so lucky to have him while we did.”
