With over 17 years experience in professional integration and electronic component production, Jason Ashton is one of the top engineers in electro-acoustics, security and communication systems.

His early career began with semi-conductor testing, robotic transfer equipment programming, pneumatics, HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems maintenance for a large microprocessor assembly factory in Northern Ohio. He also developed expertise in voice/data systems design, deployment and management.

In 1997, Jason joined a family owned audio/communications company with hopes of expanding his technical palette. There, he would become responsible for building one of the most reputable systems contracting firms in the Midwest, servicing hospitality, educational, governmental, worship and entertainment venues.

Jason is highly specialized in industrial security, access entry, microwave communications and video surveillance systems. He oversees the CAD and technical specifications content for EAP and provides global oversight for project management.

It was in 1999 that Jason and RJ would meet at a technical symposium from Synergetic Audio Concepts. The friendship and collaborative partnership would lend to the creation of EAP in hopes of furthering the principles of modern electro-acoustic design in the professional, residential and marine market sectors.

Jason enjoys racquetball, league soccer, music and woodworking.
