Hi. I’m Jason.

I was born in 1981 to two native Bronxites who fled the decaying borough to Long Island, where I grew up first in New Hyde Park and, since 1987, Syosset. I have two younger brothers, Adam and David.

Most of my family came to the U.S. in the early 20th century. My grandparents were all born in the U.S. and my parents both grew up in New York, but now my family is spread across the country and the world: Pennsylvania, Washington, California, Israel, and even some distant cousins who still live in Italy.

I graduated from Syosset High School in 1999 and enrolled at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh that fall, where I majored in computer science with a minor in Japanese. In the summer of 2002, I lived and studied in Tokyo.

After graduation I began working at CombineNet, a startup software company based in Pittsburgh. Three years and some 80 new hires after I originally joined, I took a headhunter up on his offer and moved out to Seattle, taking a software engineering position at Amazon.com.

I’m a trivia buff, constantly pestering anyone who’ll listen with various obscure nuggets of knowledge. I also follow the Yankees and the Steelers, and I’d love to visit every stadium in Major League Baseball.

Someday I’d love to return to Japan and tour the country, seeing the many sights and cities that I didn’t get to visit while I was studying there.

In my spare time I enjoy video games, as I have since visiting the neighbor’s house to play Atari 2600 on a black-and-white TV. I’ve also been exploring my new home neighborhoods of First Hill and Capitol Hill in Seattle, and nursing the coffee addiction that I picked up shortly after moving here.

I’m single.
