Jason is also regarded as an international thought leader on the adoption of mass timber construction, which he believes will become the benchmark for sustainable housing in the twenty first century. Most recently, he has led the design of Ascent MKE, which, when completed in July of 2022, became the tallest mass timber hybrid tower in the world. Jason has spoken about the benefits and technical innovations of mass timber to worldwide audiences, including presentations in Dallas, Portland, Austin, Dubai, and countless virtual seminars. Jason currently sits on the Wisconsin DSPS Timber code steering committee, as well as CTBUH’s international steel-hybrid steering committee.
KA is currently designing MTF structures nationwide, with high-rise mixed-use structures both in design and under construction nation wide.
