Jason specializes in solving complex problems at the intersection of government and business. His practice focuses on government procurement and contracts, Public-Private Partnerships (P3s), special project consulting, economic development, local government law, and public finance. Jason played an instrumental role on the team that developed the first local government P3 in Kentucky’s history and assists a number of cities, counties, and private entities developing P3s. He also represents clients in First Amendment, constitutional, and appellate litigation and resolving regulatory challenges.

Prior to joining Frost Brown Todd, Jason was a Fellow at Harvard Kennedy School’s Government Performance Lab, assessing and designing a Pay For Success public-private partnership program in Louisville, Kentucky.

After graduating from West Point, Jason served as an active duty Infantry Officer in the U.S. Army for over nine years, where he commanded multiple organizations, planned combat and training operations, and deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq. He then transferred to the U.S. Army Reserve, where he has served as a Civil Affairs Officer the last seven years and is currently a Lieutenant Colonel.
