“I focus on helping people and solving problems. I put things in plain terms that clients can understand so they can make good decisions. I tend to be organized, calm and articulate.”

Jason began his law career as a civil litigator in Indianapolis, Indiana. There, he spent most of his time in court, handling depositions, hearings and jury trials. When he returned to New Albany in 2002, he joined a small, boutique real estate firm and later Wyatt, Tarrant & Combs, where he narrowed his focus to real estate, business and banking-related matters. However, due to his litigation background, he continues to advise his clients on a wide range of topics and issues.

Jason was born in Clarksville, Indiana, but moved away at a young age, growing up in Central Kentucky. He returned to the area in 2002 after he and his wife, Candace, became pregnant with their first child. Candace has worked as a Social Worker at Norton Children’s Hospital for nearly 20 years. They reside in Floyd County with their three children. Jason enjoys spending time with his family and watching UK basketball.
