Jason leads a team of Investment Specialists who deliver advice and portfolio strategies to affluent families and institutions across the Midwest. He draws from the strength of his investment experience to drive business impact and build J.P. Morgan’s visibility in the region.
In his dual-capacity role, Jason advises a select group of clients to sustain and grow their wealth over multiple generations.

Jason’s experience as an investor through the volatility of multiple market cycles is an asset to his clients and teammates. He began his career with J.P. Morgan in 2008, and led an initiative focused on client exposures to Lehman Brothers, AIG and other distressed securities during the Global Financial Crisis. In 2020, he steered more than 200 Chicago team members through the market instability and a transition to working remotely during the global pandemic.
