Jason, a native of Los Angeles, California, found his passion for skiing drawing him to Austria in 1992. In 1998, while pursuing his studies at Webster University in Vienna, he founded the Austrian search engine “Austrosearch.” This venture remained online until 2008, during which time he also established several companies in California, Austria, and Cyprus.
Since that time, Jason has continued involvement maintaining Unix-based internet infrastructure and remains actively engaged with several Open Source projects such as FreeBSD, WordPress, and Nextcloud. Alongside his tech endeavors, he leads two Vienna-based rock bands, including Siren Call (sirencallofficial.com), which has toured Europe and the United States. During the spring, Jason wears a different hat as a Ski Instructor, seamlessly merging his passion for the slopes with his versatile skill set.
Jason is an esteemed member of various organizations, including AMCHAM (amcham.at), the Vienna-based BSD Stammtisch (bsdstammtisch.at), and the Ski-Club Arlberg (skiclubarlberg.at).
In a new chapter this year, Jason is excited to open his doors as an IT Consultant at IOLCUS (iolcus.net), bringing his wealth of experience and expertise to the forefront of the industry.”
