About Me

I'm Jason, I grew up in Tacoma/University Place Washington, south of Seattle. Ive always loved animals, I have two dogs and a cat, used to have alot of reptiles and amphibians, and once had a pet octopus, but it stopped eating and died. Ive ridden horses since before i could walk, and miss having them. I go to school at Southern Oregon University in Ashland Oregon, home of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, so i love it here.
