My name is Jason, many people call me Jay (for various reasons)
Born in 1977 in Dover, Delaware. Parents were both in the military which resulted in moving every 3-4 years... it went like this: Delaware, England, Nebraska, Japan, Utah, Germany. Then when I moved out, I ended up in Michigan, was a door-to-door magazine salesman for 6 months and travelled the country that way, and ended up in Texas, where I joined the military (satellite/wideband comm), did some training, went to Georgia for more training, then got sent back to Nebraska, of all places. I'm still there.
My first experience with a VW was in Utah, my best friend's older sister had one... then when we lived in Germany, my best friend's dad had an 80-something Westy that we took trips down to Italy in. I've wanted a bus ever since then.
I got my first VW two years ago. Somebody had been given a 1973 Super Beetle, but after 6 months in storage realized they weren't going to do squat with it, so they gave it to me. I jumped on it as an opportunity to learn about working on VWs. Now, I've finally got a bus headed my way after 14 years of wanting one.
I'm also a musician, I mostly play guitar. My GF of 7 years plays piano, and my best friend plays trumpet and programs the drum machine. I handle all the recording/producing and everything else, although not very well. Our ugly website is here:

A redesign to de-uglify the site is in the near future.
Oh, and
here's a pic of me
