Jason's experience, hobbies and "calling" all lead back to technology. He is a maker at heart and strives to absorb as much info and hands on experience with as much tech as possible. His interest and experience has complimented and helped him advance from a technician to trainer and then a supervisor of trainers. Jason's hobbies include 3D printing (built my own) CNC milling (converted mill to CNC and built a CNC router). Robotics and Laser cutting. Scuba diving with a metal detector (treasure hunting and salvage recovery).
