He met his wife Kim way back in 1995. It wasn’t long before the two real­ized they shared a kin­dred child­like spirit. One day, Jason sketched him­self and his girl­friend as young car­toon char­ac­ters, and they began appear­ing on all kinds of home­made (aka cheap) cards and gifts designed to win her heart. Jason’s efforts were not in vain, as the cou­ple was mar­ried in May 2000.
