Nicknamed “Captain Cutie”, he was loved by fans for his easy-going attitude but was sometimes criticized for failing to maintain order amongst his crew.
As the youngest captain to appear in the Below Deck franchise, Captain Jason fell into the role of a “big brother” for many crew in Season 1. Notably when the captain took inexperienced deckhand Benny Crawley under this wing.
His caring nature may not come as a surprise for many, as Captain Jason is a father and was often seen FaceTiming his daughter throughout the show.
