Jason,

You are definitely (along with Doc) one of the two or three best umpires the conference has ever seen. You taught me a lot without ever teaching me face to face. I learned a lot just by watching you (Columbus and Cincinnati).

I think the one thing that has always stood out for me when you umpired was and is your ability to defuse situations very quickly. I remember watching the 2015 winner’s bracket final between Resmondo and SIS, when Travis got drilled in the foot and there was a lot of chirping coming from the Resmondo dugout (believe it was Travis Resmondo) and you were able to to defuse it quickly before anything got out of control.

You are definitely missed in the conference man.
