Jason grew up in Cody, Wyoming, and spent his twenties playing music and touring the Pacific Northwest with his band, Leaving the Scene. A Warped Tour stop in St. Helens in 2005 turned out to be a preview of where he’d eventually land. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Public Health and Health Sciences from Portland State University in 2015 and his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from the University of St.
Augustine in Austin, Texas, in 2019. Along the way, he owned and operated the gym Iron Ethos, worked as a personal trainer, and coached CrossFit and powerlifting — a strength background that still drives how he practices.

Jason is the Clinic Director and keeps a full caseload as a treating therapist. He focuses on orthopedics, sports performance, and post-surgical rehab, with a particular interest in return-to-strength programming and objective strength testing, and he enjoys treating patients across the lifespan — from young athletes to older adults. He continues his education through IAR and Clinical Athlete, and he’s currently developing
force-measurement technology to bring more objective testing into everyday rehab. Jason believes recovery doesn’t stop when the pain does, and his favorite part of the job is watching a patient realize they’re capable of more than they thought. Outside the clinic, he helps teach the orthopedic skills lab in Pacific University’s Physician Assistant program and covers the sidelines for local high school athletics as an assistant football coach and injury management.
