Jason grew up in Tracy, MN and is a 1990 graduate of Tracy area high school.  He graduated in 1995 from South Dakota State University with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.  Jason and his wife Tina have lived in the Vergas area since 2002.  Jason is presently employed by Microsoft, and splits his time between his home office in Vergas and his Fargo office.  Jason and Tina’s two children, Joe and Meghan, attend Perham schools.

Why is Jason involved with the 549 family foundation?  “Strong schools were one of the key reasons we chose to relocate to the Perham area.  Our children’s education is critically important to their future success, and we want to do all we can to make sure the options that were available a decade ago continue to be available in the future.”
