Hello Traveler,
My name is Jason, I live in Shakopee, MN, the only Minnesota town mentioned in the movie Cars (scan for the minivan scene)
I have two OUTSTANDING kids. One is a black belt
and the other runs the Lemonade Mafia in Scott County.
​
I, along with five or six other people, grew up in southwestern North Dakota. After high school I graduated from the University of North Dakota with BBAs in Finance and Information Systems and a B.Acc. in Accountancy with a minor in tumble weed studies. Later, I earned a JD from the University of St. Thomas in Minneapolis, MN.

A good human who enjoys an audience
So enough about me,
secret sauce...
I moved to Washington, DC in 2005 and after earning my CPA, I started my career working in the Defense and Civilian sectors of the Federal Government. I next moved into consulting, working at BearingPoint and Deloitte. I focused on sorting out specialized Legal, Accounting, and Technology issues as well as fixing PC load letter errors. While there, I had a number of adventures, including helping to resolve the famed Cobel v. Norton litigation, finding Mrs. Kazlovskis cat Mittens Jr., being a member of the team who worked out the US Department of Justice’s qualified financial statement opinion, and interviewing prominent policymakers as a part of Deloitte Research’s inaugural Public Sector thought leadership season.
I moved back to the Midwest and explored IT Audit and Information Security in the financial services industry. I led the first Cybersecurity audit at a large midwestern bank and set up the function that reviews and evaluates risks associated with customer and vendor contracts, an emerging Cybersecurity issue, at a large software company. Need a technology heavyweight? I'm a CISA, a CCSP, and a CISSP, and won a pie eating contest once.
​
Believe it or not I’ve taught Law, Tax Compliance, Tax Controversy, Automation, and Information Security to legions of accountants, attorney ws, and infosec professionals who said and I quote “He was pretty good.”
“He was
pretty good ”
