TESTIMONIALS
Rebekka Golden
Jason's Wife
Jason is certainly energetic and creative. He has a way of making life, umm... interesting. Yeah, let's go with interesting. And fun. But please, PLEASE hire him and give him an outlet for his creativity that doesn't involve "automagically life-hacking the crap out of our house," as he likes to put it. Please. I can't lose another cat.

He performs very well under pressure, and is capable of managing a large workload. Jason would be a great asset to any organization.
