Jason received his Ph.D. in Biological Systems Engineering with a minor in Environmental Science as well as graduate certificates in Water Policy and Management and in Aquaculture from the University of Arizona. His dissertation work comprised a detailed analysis of a closed environment aquaponics system and an evaluation of the yield and quality of vegetables grown off of processed fish effluent and nutrient supplementations in a recirculating system.

Jason began his post graduate work at Florida Institute of Technology where he received his Master's degree in Marine Biology. He designed and managed a marine ornamental fish lab at the university where he applied his skills in aquaculture to analyze the feeding behavior and development of marine fish. He received his Bachelor's degree in marine biology and aquaculture with a minor in Ecology from Florida Institute of Technology.

Fish Farmacy was founded in 2002 as a marine aquarium design company and a marine ornamental aquaculture company. Upon accumulation of many years of experience and advanced degrees in science and engineering Fish Farmacy has evolved into a consulting firm focusing on sustainable integrated farming, aquaculture, and greenhouse engineering.
