Meet Jason

Born in upstate New York, I moved to Maryland as a child and grew up in our public school system. From my early days as a Boy Scout, I learned that leadership begins with integrity and a duty to others—values that have guided me throughout my professional life.

A Career in Science: I am a scientist by trade, specializing in research and development and bio-manufacturing. I bring a rigorous, analytical approach to problem-solving. In a modern Sheriff’s Office, we need a leader who understands how to use data and technology to fight crime and manage complex budgets.

Education:

• M.S. in Bioinformatics (Candidate), Hood College (Class of 2026)

• B.S. in Biotechnology (Minor in Critical Infrastructure and Terrorism), University of Maryland Global Campus – Summa Cum Laude

• A.A.S. in Biotechnology (Minor in History), Montgomery College

• Member of Phi Kappa Phi, Pi Gamma Mu, and Alpha Sigma Lambda Honor Societies.

Community First: Throughout my life, I have made it a priority to serve the communities I call home. My experience includes:

• Feeding Families: Volunteering with Manna to address food insecurity.

• Building Community: Volunteering with Habitat for Humanity to provide stable housing for those in need.

• Protecting our Environment: Volunteering with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation to preserve our region's natural resources.

I met my wife in July 2012, brought together by the chance circumstances of the 2012 Derecho.

We have been married for 11 years and were proud to buy our first home here in Frederick. I am running for Sheriff to ensure our county remains a safe, vibrant, and forward-thinking place for all of us.
