Jason Wayne Isamu Clock was born to Marianne and Garry Clock on May 15, 1978 at 4:04 PM EST. My mother calls me each year at the exact minute of my birth. Thankfully I was not born at 4:04 AM! For the first 22 years of my life I lived in Phelps, a little village between Rochester and Syracuse in Upstate NY. I have a younger brother Jared who also has 2 5 letter middle names. :) I have my fathers' middle name and a Japanese name picked by my mother which means "healer." My mothers' mother is Japanese and met my grandfather in Hawaii during WWII. I met my life partner Patrick Richardson in April 2002.
From 2001 - 2006 I lived in Rochester, NY. I owned a house, one of my goals in life, in the town of West Irondequoit in northern Rochester from July 2003 - December 2007 (Thanks Bush for the bad housing market.).
September 12, 2006 I moved down to Washington, D.C. and started working at Georgetown University the following day.
Education
May 14, 2000 I graduated from Allegheny College in Meadville, PA with a BS in Computer Science.
In December 2010 I became LCI 3014 with the League of American Bicyclists. As a League Cycling Instructor, I have been fortunate to help the local bike advocacy group WABA, promote safe cycling in the greater DC Metro area.
Work
Since September 13, 2006 I have been working at Georgetown University, as the University Information Services Student Help Desk Coordinator. GO HOYAS!
In November 2007 I picked up a part time job in order to assist with the cost of living in the Nation's Capital. I was a supervisor at Cost Plus World Market close to Chevy Chase, MD until March 2011 after discovering it was not worth working 2 jobs based on tax brackets.
From July 2000 - September 2006 I worked for Hillside Family of Agencies, a not for profit children's service agency, as a Computer Support Specialist. I was promoted with management responsibilities in 2004.
Business Ventures

From December 2004 - January 2007 Patrick and I owned "Patrik's Culinary Kreations," an eclectic neighborhood bakeshop and eatery in Rochesters' South Wedge. During those 2 years we were reviewed by the "City" newspaper and the "Democrat and Chronicle."
February 2008 marked the soft launch of "Simply Sweet Kreations." We are in the process of securing a commercial kitchen and delivery services at which time we will begin advertising.
Volunteering
Since March 2007, I have been volunteering at both the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum and the Smithsonian's Zoological Park. At the Air and Space Museum I assist visitors at the Welcome Center and also educate visitors on Living and Working in Space at a Discovery Station. Fall 2011 I added a weekly interactive presentation to my NASM volunteering. This is a 23 minute presentation on the International Space Station in the "How Things Fly" gallery. I currently volunteer at the Zoo as a tour guide.
I have been working on a long term goal of mine....to talk to 1,000,000 people while volunteering. As of March 2008, I am at 40,000! My progress will be posted in my blog. At my current rate, I expect to reach my goal by 2030.
Since March 2008 I have been an active member and volunteer with the Washington Area Bicyclists Association. This was also the time when I stopped taking the bus and metro and use a bicycle for all my commuting and transportation needs. This was driven by a shuttle bus route change to avoid historic neighborhoods in Georgetown which resulted in a longer ride. Being that I try to be efficient, I purchased a bike the very next day!
