Hi there, I’m Jason—an early-stage investor, community builder, global citizen, and all-around business development and strategy nerd living and working in Southeast Asia.

My career is oriented around the global economic shift from developed nations to emerging economies and how I can help businesses launch, grow, adapt, and scale.

Over the past 20 years, I'm pleased to have had the good fortune to work alongside and contribute to a diverse group of organizations in a variety of roles: YouTube, Techstars, Tencent, The PGA of America, Diageo, Audi AG, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Samsung Electronics, Vail Resorts, Lazada, Türk Telekom, and others.

Today, I'm the Managing Partner at Garden District Ventures, a consumptive-thematic venture capital fund that invests across sectors and geographies, primarily in Southeast Asia.

Beyond work, I'm deeply committed to causes including cancer survivorship, global hunger and homelessness, social justice, and the environment. I love skiing, kayaking, camping, craft beer, listening to brass bands, and reading everything I can get my hands on. Having traveled to and spent time in 58 countries, I find endless inspiration in people and places.
