A Story of Survival and Transformation
A near-fatal skydiving accident inspired Jason to reassess his life—and create a framework to help others overcome the impossible.
In a split second, a huge gust of wind slammed me through a fence and into the side of an airplane hangar at 30 mph. The impact left me with 20 broken bones, 3 badly damaged organs, and thrust my heart from the left side of my body to the right.
After surviving an 8-day coma, 3.5 months in the hospital, and 11 months of rehabilitation, I defied the odds by completing a triathlon less than one year later. My journey isn’t just about survival—it’s about resilience, unlocking purpose, and transforming adversity into a framework others can use to overcome the impossible.
