Meet our hometown hero

Jason enlisted in the U.S. Army after the September 11 attacks and has served more than 24 years, with several deployments to the Middle East. Military service runs deep in his family: it goes back to the Revolutionary War.

At home in the Battle Creek area, Jason and his wife are raising four kids and are the main caregivers for her parents. His father-in-law is a Vietnam veteran.

Their house was built by the family in 1954 and has been handed down through the generations. It's still the family homestead. When he isn't working, Jason volunteers at his kids' schools and with veteran groups PGA HOPE and Mission 22.
