Additional Information About Jason
What shapes his work is not only the clinical background. Jason has his own history with addiction, and a spiritual calling to serve people who are still in it. That experience is where Raise the Bottom’s mission comes from: hope, dignity, and second chances, offered without a lecture attached.
As Executive Director, Jason spends most of his energy on the team rather than on the org chart. He believes the organization works because of authentic relationships, a staff that feels trusted, and an environment where both patients and employees can do well. His job, as he describes it, is making sure the people delivering care have what they need to deliver it well.
Outside of work he is with his family, in the gym doing Olympic weightlifting, at the movies, or cooking.
