He was an all-rounder player, skilled in both Shortcut and Non-Shortcut. Some of his best known marks included Banshee Boardwalk 1'45"39 ([http://www.mariokart64.com/kart64/members/10best.html a Top 10 nomination]), some really old Frappe Snowland lap WRs, and way too many shortcuts (YV SC).

Jason is perhaps closest to [[Kevin Booth]] and [[Louis-Philippe Sabbagh]] than any community members, and the trio goes back to at least 1997. In earlier days, they competed at Andy's site, one of the first time trial sites. Kevin later took over, and founded the [[mariokart64.com|Player's Page]]. In those early days, Jason spent most of his web-time in the Mario Kart IRC chatroom--braving the deficiencies of WebTV (he could not use AIM)--and shared many laughs and coming-of-age enlightening conversations with Kevin, Louis, [[Alex Penev]], [[Mark Jones]], [[Michael Fried]], Olga the Cow, and others. Jason was Kevin's SVP, and many considered him the most-suitable for creating side-projects for the community. He was a well-respected member for his high ranking and sense of humour, and is fondly remembered for his ''Kart Bible'' ([[Kart = Chicks]]), several reincarnations of the ''Fake Chat'', and ''Iacopuff''.

Jason was one of the first Mario Kart players to create an online profile. He once modestly credited Alex as being the first to make profiles ''look'' good, but some consider Jason to be the first to have an ''interesting'' profile, with more content on it than just numbers in a table. Many people followed suit, and updated their own off-site profiles in their own style, with personal content. Profiles are now a typical feature of all the Mario Kart sites, but as many of them are automated, they contain very little personal information.
