About Jason
Jason holds two degrees: Real Estate Development from the University of Baltimore and Business Administration from Goucher College. That dual background bridges the financial and operational aspects of construction, allowing him to guide projects from concept through completion while maintaining both budget discipline and execution quality.
His tenure at Back Creek Builders began in 2022, though his partnership with Eric Young started earlier on the pickleball court. Competitive matches revealed shared values about how work should proceed: honest communication, consistent follow-through, and standards that don’t bend based on convenience. Those values became the foundation for the company they built together.
Jason remains directly involved in projects throughout their duration. Clients don’t meet him once during sales and then communicate through intermediaries. He stays engaged from the initial consultation through the final walkthrough, addressing questions and concerns with the authority to make decisions rather than passing them up the chain of command.
