Since joining AWC in 2013, Jason has led numerous projects related to fire safety and acoustical performance of wood construction, while serving on various standards committees which promulgate standards referenced in U.S. model building codes. During the development of the U.S. tall mass timber code provisions, he also provided technical support to the ICC Ad-Hoc Committee on Tall Wood Buildings and testimony to the applicable code development committees regarding the development and execution of multiple fire test series which were deemed necessary to justify ICC code change proposals.

Prior to joining AWC, Jason worked for the International Code Council Evaluation Service (ICC-ES), where he evaluated a variety of building products, including wood products and related components and systems, for equivalency and compliance with U.S. model code provisions. He also worked three years at the Institute for Business & Home Safety (IBHS) as a Project Engineer / Building Code Specialist prior to his tenure at ICC-ES.
