By day, Jason leads Centric / Agency of Change, a company he founded in 1994. Centric helps enterprises and organizations develop complete interactive strategies, from branding to social media and virtual worlds. You could say he’s a slimy marketer. You could say he’s an evil corporate shill. Neither is completely accurate.
At night, he writes science fiction that’s made him a finalist for the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, the Sidewise Award for Alternate History, and has earned him Hugo nominations. His work has been seen in Sci Fiction, Interzone, Strange Horizons, Futurismic, GUD, original and reprint anthologies edited by Ellen Datlow and Gardner Dozois, and other publications.
And he has an engineering degree.
And he’s a sought-after speaker on social media and virtual worlds, having spoken at venues like Harvard University, Internet Strategy Forum, Loyola Marymount University, The eMarketing Forum, Inverge, Virtual Worlds Expo, Virtual Worlds Conference, and the Home Entertainment Forum.
And he lives with his wife, who writes romance and fantasy under the names Rina Slayter and Ashleigh Raine. And they have five turtles, three tortoises, and several cars in varying states of repair.
(You see how these random sound bites are confusing?)
