Jason is a multifaceted 17-year-old high school senior at Lodi High School in Lodi, California. At a very early age, he expressed his desire to be an astronaut and has been an aficionado of flying machines ever since. While his imagination usually takes him far into the future, he recently took a trip into the past while researching his report on the Flying Fortresses of World War II and found the experience exhilarating.

Although extremely friendly and outgoing, Jason states his two "best" girl friends are his horses, on whom he enjoys competing in dressage, cross-country, and hunter/jumper events.

He has won numerous awards and championships while training with Liz Jenner at Gateway Farm in Acampo, and he recently returned from Parker, Colorado, where he competed in the USPC National Championships on his Hanoverian mare, Royelle, garnering a prestigious team gold medal and an individual silver medal in dressage. He is very active in the United States Pony Club and will be taking his national-level C-3 rating on his thoroughbred/appaloosa mare, Danzgal, this summer, after he graduates from Lodi High School.

Jason doesn't limit his sports to equestrian activities, however. He is also an avid golfer and also enjoys wrestling, swimming, camping and marksmanship.

Jason is planning to become a therapeutic riding instructor, teaching handicapped children and adults to ride, while perfecting his own riding skills and hoping to qualify for the United States Olympic Dressage Team. He has been invited to spend a summer in Sweden, riding at an international-caliber barn near Stockholm.

Jason lives at home in Lockeford, California, with his parents, Alan and Pamela Cohn, and older brother, Scott.
