“Some people may stay hidden, but I wanted Jason to be out in the world.  I pushed for him to be mainstreamed," says Jason’s mother, Linda.  Linda’s maternal instincts proved her right.  Jason was born with cerebral palsy and suffers from a heart murmur.  None of that slows this integral member of Goodwill’s A-Team. 

Jason has worked at Goodwill’s processing plant in Nashville since 1996.  He’s easy to spot, too.  As the self-proclaimed, “Number one Titans fan at Goodwill,” he’s the one wearing a Tennessee Titans jersey, hat and other team apparel almost every day to work.  Just as with his beloved Titans, Jason is a relentless worker and devoted to his team.  “It’s a good job and it’s fun.  I’m happy when I’m here.”
