In 1994 Jason married Kelli Hopkins in the Boise, ID temple.  Together they have 5 children.  As a family, they have worked and traveled all over the world.  The friendships they have created in work and travel are of lasting importance to them.  Their family relishes time in the outdoors mountain biking, surfing, rafting, and alpine skiing. He and Kelli feel that service at home, work, in the community, and at Church brings them closer to their Savior Jesus Christ.  It is His friendship they value most.
