About Jason

I am running to make sure the people who work here can afford to live here, stay here, and enjoy everything that makes this town special.

I have loved Breckenridge since I was six years old, learning to ski and later snowboard here. I came back every year I could, and in 2021 I moved here for good. I came for the winters and stayed for the summers, like so many before me. I plan to live here the rest of my life, and my heart is fully invested in this community.

I grew up in Colorado. I have 20 years of experience in finance and investments and currently work at Northwestern Mutual. My role involves bringing together stakeholders to find the best path forward, and I know how to read a budget and ask hard questions about spending. Working remotely means I am here full-time, available, and present in this community every day.

Over nearly five years as a renter, I have lived in multiple neighborhoods throughout Breck: from higher up on Four O'Clock Road, to a single-family home on Ridge behind La Cima Mall and the Tonopah lot, to now in Tannhauser on Main Street. That gives me firsthand perspective on housing costs, neighborhood impacts, and what it takes to stay here. I have seen up close how short-term rentals shape our community and have benefited from town decisions like short-term rental regulations and the e-delivery program that improve quality of life for locals.

I volunteer every year at Oktoberfest, participate in the annual town cleanup, and am active in the Summit County Democratic Party. Those who know me know I spend my free time picking up litter on streets like Ridge and Main, in our parking lots, and on our trails. I would like to see a second town cleanup day added after Oktoberfest, before the snow falls.

This past summer, while rehabbing a knee injury, I biked the Blue River Rec Path nearly every day, staying within town limits and noting everything I would work to improve. I was excited to see that the Blue River Pathways Master Plan already reflects much of what I had identified.

Our visitors and local businesses are the engine that funds everything we do as a town, from workforce housing to trail maintenance. I want to make sure that engine keeps running and that the people who live and work here share in the benefits.

I am running for Town Council to keep Breck livable for locals: affordable housing and childcare so the people who work here can live here, a more boot and bike friendly town, and clean streets and trails. I will show up, listen, and do the homework before I vote. I want to hear from everyone who cares about Breckenridge: long-time residents and newcomers, renters and homeowners, second homeowners, business owners, and the people who work here. We all want the same thing: a town that works.

I believe our professional town staff are essential partners in making council decisions a reality, and I look forward to working closely with them. In winter I snowboard and snowshoe; in summer I hike and bike our trails. I would be honored to earn your vote and serve Breckenridge.
