He started out driving delivery trucks and helping around the shop. Right out of high school, he applied for the Sheet Metal Local 73 apprenticeship program, and after completing the program, he started working in the field applying the training and skills that he had acquired. Jason worked in the field for more than 20 years perfecting his skills. Recently, he has moved up to Project Manager/Estimator; he is also learning the new skills that he will need to be able to run Sun Ray Heating as President when his father, David, retires.
