In 2001, Jason began developing Fitness Forward hoping to help spark the reinvention of daily routines in youth that would contribute to healthier, happier and more peaceful lives. After teaming up with a strong board of directors and scientific advisory group, Fitness Forward was formally created in 2003. Jason has tried to incorporate the values of Fitness Forward and it’s 5 Wellness Targets into many aspects of his life; from rowing in college and participating in triathlon and cycling fundraisers to surfing, snowboarding, cooking dinner, dancing, playing guitar and doing yoga with friends and family.
After receiving his BA with Honors in biology and a concentration in neuroscience from Williams College, and studying medical biology at Cambridge University in England, Jason worked as a strategy consultant to clients in the technology and pharmaceutical industries with Mercer Management Consulting in Boston, Melbourne, London and outside Brussels. In 2005, he was a Reynolds Foundation Fellow for Social Entrepreneurship at Harvard’s Center for Public Leadership and completed his MPH in quantitative methods from the Harvard School of Public Health. Currently, Jason is completing his MD at Duke University Medical School. He is also the CEO of FitNet, LLC, and Chief Technology Officer of Proventys, Inc., a biomedical informatics company he co-founded with the former CEO of Duke University Health System, Ralph Snyderman, MD. Jason attributes the most important parts of his education to growing up in a close, hard-working family near Buffalo, NY, who value helping each other and those in need, above all.
