Currently unemployed and a recovering drug and alcohol addict, Jason has been
clean for 18 months. Originating from London, he now lives in Kent and is
hoping to become an addiction counsellor when he returns from being cast away.
听
Jason describes himself as happy, outgoing and humorous, a team player who can
take the lead if necessary. A qualified carpenter and joiner, he admits that he
could build shelter if needed, which could stand him in good stead with the
other castaways.

A devoted father, Jason has a seven-year-old son whom he describes as one of
his biggest personal achievements. He admits that staying clean has been a
tough challenge but that his ambition in life is to be a good role model for
his son.

Jason is looking forward to going back to basics and coping with island life,
and says that he is more than willing to step outside of his comfort zone. He
has an appreciation of the outdoors, listing archery, potholing, rock climbing
and abseiling among his hobbies, as well as being an accomplished cook.
听
Honesty is important to Jason and he admits that he finds it hard to respect
people who fib or who feel like they have too much to prove. He also lists one
of his dislikes as not being taken seriously but does confess, however, that "he likes to take the mickey out of people" and sometimes they don't know if he
is being serious or not.
听
As much as Jason is keen to throw himself into island life, he does confess
that he will struggle to live without his hair clippers, razor and food! He
says that he can be quite greedy where food is concerned and lists the shortage
of it as one of his biggest fears.
听
Did you know? Jason is scared of creepy-crawlies, especially spiders.
