Located In: Colorado
Position: Managing Director
Jason is a highly experienced and sought-after leadership coach, facilitator, writer, and speaker. Prior to joining Victory Strategies, he served over 25 years in the Air Force, retiring with the rank of Colonel.
While in uniform, Jason served with distinction in various staff and command assignments in deployed combat environments and geographically dispersed organizations across the globe and in the United States. As a colonel, he led over 650 personnel in eight units spread across four continents, supporting everything from national-level decision-making to time-sensitive tactical operations. Over the course of his career, Jason was recognized as the Air Force’s Intelligence Officer of the Year, graduated number one from his Air War College class, was awarded the Bronze Star in Afghanistan, and was twice awarded the prestigious Legion of Merit.
While those accomplishments are noteworthy, he is perhaps best known for leading a significant culture shift in the Air Force and across the Department of Defense beginning with a series of articles he published under the pseudonym “Col Ned Stark.” In those articles, Jason highlighted significant organizational culture and leadership alignment issues, provided root cause analysis, and offered innovative solutions resulting in the Chief of Staff of the Air Force offering him a senior position on his staff. To the surprise of many, Jason chose to end his fast-track military career so that he could coach and engage with people from across the public and private sectors.
Jason understands how to create and develop leaders of distinction and high-performing teams. He knows how to optimize organizational alignment and eliminate dysfunction to craft tailored solutions that improve workforce retention and performance. Jason is known for identifying and helping his clients break through the barriers that hold them back from achieving what they want, personally and professionally.
Jason graduated from the U.S. Air Force Academy with a degree in International Relations with a minor in Japanese. He holds four advanced degrees in organizational management, national security policy, and strategy. Additionally, Jason is an International Coaching Federation-certified professional coach with an additional certification as an Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner. He resides in Colorado with his wife and has a daughter in college.
