While attending Pitt Community College, a professor noted Jason's eye for detail and close attention to how buildings were put together, which solidified his desire to enter the construction industry. After getting an internship at Pitt Memorial Hospital, now Vidant, in the Design and Construction Department, Jason moved into the construction industry full time, eventually landing at T.A. Loving. Jason is already a leader in his community, where he serves as Property Chair at his church, serves on the administrative boards for his son's sports leagues, and recently he participated in the Pitt County Chamber Leadership program. When away from the jobsite, Jason loves spending time with his 3 children, including coaching baseball and football, and will be getting married late this summer.
