Some Basic Info.

I grew up in Rockaway, New Jersey and spent most of my working life as a waiter in various restaurants and diners.  I've read books on personal development and becoming an entrepreneur since I was only 16.  I tried a few different businesses, none of them worked for me until I got on the Internet.

I taught myself how to build computers when I was 19, and began learning how to use Windows and the Internet by experimenting, reading tutorials, and bugging my neighbor with endless questions.

I started experimenting with online marketing in 1998, and began teaching myself how to make money on the Internet.  I had no idea at the time that I would make a career out of it, though.

How I Ended Up In New England

As a result of a weird series of events, I became friends with a guy in Massachusetts (Steve) who I met on Ebay.  We were friends over the phone for over two years before I finally met him in person at the Tony Robbins "Unleash The Power Within" live seminar.  That was a great weekend, and then a year or so later, he invited me to come visit him again in Massachusetts.

He offered to let me stay with him here, and since I was looking to leave New Jersey and start a life someplace new, I took him up on it.  I've been here for over 7 years now, and I'm really glad I made that decision to move.

What I Spend My Time Doing

These days I'm involved in a number of different things.  I go dancing at Dance Friday sometimes, and I also do contact improv dancing on occasion.  I also run a group in Boston that is dedicated to helping people improve their social lives and developing their social skills.

I play volleyball competitively once or twice a week, and I'm also involved in Toastmasters.  In fact, you can watch one of my speeches by clicking here.

There's a lot more to my story, but this is just some basic info to help you get to know me.  I'll be updating this page often, but it was important for me to at least get it up on the site.  If you'd like to get in touch with me, you can reach me at: Jason@JasonMcGarva.com

Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope you explore the rest of the site.

Warmly,
Jason
