Background

Jason was born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana. He graduated from North Central High School in 1992. He attended and graduated from Indiana University in 1997 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History. While at Indiana University he played varsity football under Coach Bill Mallory, where he was a letter winner as well as an Alpha Beta honorary. In 1998, Jason began his legal career attending Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Lansing, Michigan. While at Cooley, Jason took part in many school activities including the school’s moot court competition team, writing for the school newspaper and participating in the law school’s clinical internship program.

In January 2002 Jason began working at FINRA, then known as the NASD. There he organized and conducted major investigations and enforcement actions against investment firms for various sales practice and regulatory violations. Among them was the highly publicized enforcement action against the top 12 investment firms for their conflict of interest violations between their research and investment banking departments. This action resulted in the “Global Settlement” with these investment firms paying 1.4 billion dollars in fines. During his time at the NASD, Jason received the Above and Beyond Award and the President’s Award from Mary Shapiro.

In April 2006, Jason resigned from FINRA to form this law firm in New York City. Two years later he returned to Indianapolis, his hometown, to start a family and open this office.
