I am doing my job well when a client views me not just as their lawyer, but as part of their business team. Outside the Office Jason spends a lot of time on airplanes, often with his wife, Mary. He is a self-described “plane geek” and once flew around the world in 14 days, during which time he had the chance to fly on both the Airbus A350 and the Airbus A380 for the first time. He has been known to take a connecting flight rather than a direct flight on more than one occasion.
