About Us: Jason Seger aka jasonmseger

Jason aka jasonmseger works on the Support Team here in Brooklyn, but he drawls his lovely Virginian accent and makes us all hanker for the South. He's patient, thorough and compassionate — qualities that are needed when working in customer support. He often writes hand written notes to members who have had a bad experience on Etsy.

Jason Fun Facts:

  • All of his friends actually call him Jay, but because we already had an admin named Jay, we forced him to be Jason (Jay is actually Jared, but we'd forced him to be Jay because we already had Jared). (It's also said that Jason looks like Christine aka Iheartmoustaches's father, so she calls him "Dad").
  • Jason is a musician and writes country-folk songs with his girlfriend. You can hear his music  on his MySpace page and in his Etsy Shop JSeger.
  • He loves vintage clothing and can rock high waters with a light rockabilly flair.
  • He also loves old timey music and the Kinks.
  • He had a full-ride scholarship to college for his baseball playing skills.
  • Jason is great at accessorizing and he often wears hats and vests. Perhaps his best known accessory is his penchant for hot, women's sunglasses.
  • Jason is sort of a luddite, and according to Mary, prefers the original invention to new versions — for example, record players to iPods.
  • His first Alchemy request was for an exact replica of a vintage pair of pants that he already owns.  He actually sent this favorite pair of cords to the seller to measure exactly and make him a new pair.
  • He is a huge fan of Old Bay Seasoning and will flavor any food with it.

Mini-Jason (with devil eyes and crazy feet):

Etsy has had quite a growth spurt in the past year, and we have the awkward pictures to prove it. We've been posting a series of About Us pieces to help you get to know the Etsy admin (and since many of us work remotely, for the admin to get to know each other!). You've seen the admin badge, and maybe you're a bit curious about the person behind it! For more on Etsy's mission and about the company, please see our About page (the link is in the little blue footer of every Etsy page).

Below you'll find some of Jason's favorites.

Jason is the real deal! I'm so glad I get to work with him (and listen to his amazing iTunes library).

Jason- If you LOVE music- you need to check out Putumayo World Music(their studio is 411 Lafayette St, 4th Floor NY, NY) if you haven't already. They have an absolutely FANTASTIC variety of music; every type you can think of from all over the globe. Their website is www.putumayo.com & a friend of mine from childhood, Michelle (amazing Sax & piano player!), has worked there for about 6 years. Check them out!!
