Upon graduation, Jason began a career in the mineral exploration industry, working closely with geologists from some of North America's largest mining companies. Jason's experience in the field of exploration included a variety of activities that ranged from technical applications, such as drill site positioning and colour choropleth mapping, to the financial side, through venture capital operations.

He has achieved honours standing in his investment industry qualification, and continues to expand his knowledge base. Jason is both insurance and options licensed, and he is also licensed to provide discretionary portfolio management services.
