Jason is a blogger for Times Union. He became a blogger in the fall of 2010. Besides blogging he enjoys parenting. He says, " I became proud first-time parents to a healthy baby girl, Abbi." Jason loves his job and his job as a father even though he comments by saying "Am I an expert(at being a father)?  Absolutely not!"
He writes blogs on a regular basis about the struggles and joys of parenting. In one of his blogs called "I loosened it for you", he compares being a parent to opening a jar of pickles. He claims "The moment another person, of any size, walks into the room.  They see that you are struggling... at your lid twisting...They take the jar and with one hand casually remove the lid with what seems like zero effort". He then later says when his wife and him try to put Abbi to be, they sometimes get the same result. He says "The other night, (my wife) was trying to get Abbi down for bed.  It was a struggle.  Abbi was fighting it with everything she had...We agreed that I should try laying with Abbi... but as soon as I did Abbi snuggled right in and was out in less than 10 minutes." I learned that Jason really loves being a father just as much as he loves his career.
