He attended the Crossroads Christian academy and graduated in 1994. He was united in marriage to Juliana Baker Aug. 9, 1997, at the Tomah Baptist Church.

From there he attended the Bethany Divinity Bible College and Seminary for his master's degree. He traveled to many different states preaching God's word. Jaeson's passion was working with the youth.
