Every day, people across the world benefit from EFF's decades of work protecting their privacy, free speech, and creativity online, but many don't even know it. As the Director of Development Strategy, Jason works to reach those people with a clear message about how EFF supports them and their freedom—and how they can support EFF and its work in turn.
Before joining the Development team, Jason spent nearly a decade on EFF's Activism Team, as Social Media Manager, Associate Director of Digital Strategy, and Director of Activism. He uses that experience to pilot new ways to reach and inspire people to champion EFF's mission, utilizing unique opportunities—like this page—to highlight EFF's importance to the world. Jason invites you—yes, you specifically, dear reader—to lay down your techno-pessimism, your privacy nihilism, and your technological determinism, and join the "cult of privacy" by becoming an EFF member. With your help, we can build an online world that centers human rights, works for the public interest, and is privacy first.
Before working at EFF, Jason managed marketing and content strategy for a software company that helps non-programmers learn to code, and advertising and marketing analytics for a student loan refinancing startup. He received an English and Philosophy degree from Kent State University, and an M.F.A. in creative nonfiction from Sewanee: The University of the South.
