Jason was born and raised in Rochester, NY, before moving to Southern CA where he taught high school math, then Northern Virginia, working for a data encryption company, and finally settling down in Minneapolis working in the software intelligence space for the last 14 years. While working at some of Minneapolis's best cocktail bars, he started his own bartending company, A Proper Pour, 9 years ago. A Proper Pour provides bartending services for private events, as well as cocktail classes, and cocktail themed corporate presentations. Jason enjoys the creativity that comes with making fancy cocktails. He likes the classic "proper cocktail" style, but often with a fun and playful twist.
