About Me

In 1995, I founded the first online coupon site, known initially as CouponsDirect.com. After growing the company, I sold it to a competitor in 2000, then reacquired it in 2002. I then began to build an affiliate tracking technology and platform called DirectTrack under the company name Direct Response Technologies. I sold the company to Digital River in 2006. In 2008, Jason launched GiftCards.com. That company was acquired by Blackhawk Network Holdings in 2016.

My current focus is GiftYa.com the next generation gift card and I’m the Chairman of the Pittsburgh Technology Council.
