Jason's Explanation
This blog is about ASP.NET and web development. You can visit my other blogs, find out more information about me, and see articles and projects I've authored at

My Bio - A work in progress...In 1999, I graduated from a high school in Susquehanna County (PA) called
Elk Lake High School. I previously attended the
Wyalusing Area School District, but a 10 mile move "down river" 4 years earlier forced the switch. After a short break, I began school at
Penn State University in Lehman, PA.
Two and half short years later, I had my first degree and decided that since I was working over 40 hours a week and using this new Microsoft technology called .NET that at the time wasn't even heard of in the college, it was time for me to move on. I began writing articles for an online repository called
ASPAlliance.com and participating in the original ASP.NET forums on
ASP.net. I soon met some real cool people and became more and more interested in the technology.
2003 was a very exciting time for me because I became an
ASPInsider and a
Microsoft MVP. I also started up Northeastern Pennsylvania's only user group called
.NET Valley.
My friends said it would never happen. I had doubts too. But, in 2004, I took the *big jump* and married. We went on an awesome honeymoon to
Jamaica and Florida. Last August, we moved into our
first house in which we had built.
