As an active participant in numerous American Bar Association ("ABA") ADR competitions, Jason won both the Negotiation Competition and Arbitration Competition at Touro and placed Second in the Client Counseling Competition.  In addition to representing Touro in the regional ABA Negotiation Competition in New York and ABA Arbitration Competition in Oklahoma, he  competed successfully in two regional ABA Mediation Competitions.

Jason received a number of awards for his work at Touro, including a Graduation Award for his services to the New York State Bar Association ("NYSBA"), the CALI Award for Excellence for his performance in Drafting Commercial Documents and the 2009 Lawyer Assistance Trust Law School Award for his services as the Lawyers Assistance Program representative during his final year at Touro.

In addition to his position as co-chair on the Negotiation Committee for the Dispute Resolution Section of the NYSBA, Jason is also a co-chair on the Digital Media Committee for the Entertainment Arts and Sports Law ("EASL") Section of the NYSBA, and serves as liaison to the NYSBA Dispute Resolution Section from both the Young Lawyers Section and EASL.

Jason received his Bachelors of Arts degree from Fordham University, where he majored in Theatre and Economics, and a Certificate in Film Production at Brooklyn College.  He is admitted to the Bar in both Connecticut and New York.
