OVERVIEW (Warning, this Wikipage is still under construction and in need of sources)

Jason William Forbes was born in San Diego, California on July 13th in 1985. He lived in San Diego for the first 6 months of his life, and moved with his parents shortly after to Florida, where he would spend 4 more years of his life. His father was in the United States Navy and the small family moved to several different US States before settling down in Kansas after his father retired from the Navy in 1994.

Jason was 9 years old when he arrived in Kansas, and spent his third grade year of elementary school split between Virgina, Missouri, and Kansas. He often comments how it was a difficult yet interesting year often mentioning the strange range of teachers he had saying, "That was the strangest sequence of women I had ever encountered. The first one young and nice, the second one old and mean, and the third was middle-aged and the devil.  So you know, yeah, I grew a lot during that year."

After Jason's 10th birthday he began taking an interest in music. The saxophone became a treasured hobby that he enjoyed developing every week. He also found himself becoming more and more interested in music in general, and was given his first music CD by Colletive Soul from his father. They were an alternative rock band, and his mother apporved of it as it seemed to contain a background subtlety of christian lyrics.

In middle school Jason seems to have surpassed much feeling of personal akwardness, although now when he looks back he has been qouted as saying "God, please don't talk about that. I was a strange fig.  A strange one indeed." Jason experimented with sports in middle school, amoung them being Football, Tennis, Track & Field, and cross-country running.

In high school Jason joined marching band and was the section leader for the alto saxophones for two of the four years he was involved. This would later prove profitable when told in a story at an interview to be a supervisor at Starbucks Coffee during his college career. Jason dated two girls in high school, one of which overlapped into his first year of college at Wichita State University.

Jason started out as a music major his first year at Wichita State, but dropped the major as ever-increasing interest in finance took over his academic captivation. The forth year studies, he moved to Austria on exchange for 1 year. During this he studied business finance, german language, and began dating an Austrian girl he met at a student party named Petra Facathaler. Jason returned to Kansas to finish his last year of his bachelor's degree at Wichta State University. During this year he also worked at Starbucks Coffee and did and internship at Consumer Credit Counseling Services, Inc. as a receptionist and bankruptcy education assistant.

In May of 2008 Jason graduted from Wichita State with a B.B.A in Finance, and moved to Austria to undertake a Master's program in International Finance at the Austrian university he was on exchange at in 2006, improve his German language skills, and continue the relationship with his girlfriend Petra. Jason is currently studying at the Fachhochschule Wiener Neustadt in Austria, and will complete his M.A. in International Finance and Accounting scheduled for July 2010. Along with his master's studies, he is undertaking an internship at an energy company called Verbund (Austrian Power Trading) headquarted in Vienna in the department of Risk Management.

Future plans for post-graduation are currently unknown, however rumors have stated that he may move back to the United States for a few years if he finds a work opportunities. He was recently quoted by a reporter of an Austrian Newspaper, The Kronen Zeitung, as making the following comment when asked about his post graduation plans, "Yeah, I mean, that depends on a lot of variables. If I get offered a full-time job at Verbund, I might stay here, at least for a while.  Of course it depends on Petra too, what she is up too in 2010.  About wanting to work abroad, and so on.  It comes down to where the jobs are blossoming, you know what I mean.  But, uh, I like it here, I do.  Austria is like a second home to me.  We'll see. We'll see." Jason was said to be seen in Kansas, most likely visiting his family, participating in a backyard grill party on July 19th, 2009. Another source has supposedly spotted him on a beach in Barcelona, Spain with his girlfriend Petra. His last year of school should begin in September 2010 at the Fachhochschule Wiener Neustadt.
