Jason Prescott
President/CEO
Jason founded JP Communications in April of 2005 and now serves as the Chief Vision and Decision Officer. He feels that he is “the most fortunate person in the world” to get to work with such an incredible team. Jason is a Gemini from Brookfield, CT. (His birthday is June 11th.) He grew up with three brothers, two of which are JPC superstars. He earned his BS in Law Administration at Western Connecticut State University, but his passion is for search. He also has a deep passion for people and believes that volunteering for special causes is the most important thing one can do in life. When he’s not leading the JPC team, you can find Jason at the gym or watching football. (Go ‘niners!) He also loves traveling to Europe and enjoys Mexican and Spanish food---the spicier the better.
