After winning the BMX World Championship, Jason had no idea that bicycle motocross would take him to new adventures in the entertainment industry. Jason showed bicycle talent early and his parents allowed him to start competing at the age of eight. After quickly moving through the ranks of racing to the expert level, Jason went on to win numerous BMX titles and appeared in many print ads and TV spots promoting the sport and BMX products.

As the BMX World Champion, Jason was spotted by a talent agent for his good looks and ability on the bike and was asked to audition for the role of the paperboy in Pleasantville. One day later he was cast in his first movie. "It was a surprise to all of us, but a good start", said his parents, Lyle and Carol Maves, "The director told us that he was cast because of his look and excellent bicycle skills, but he never expected to get the BMX World Champion."

Jason's start landed him a Disney Channel guest appearance as the BMX World Champion, a modeling contract with Click Models in New York, and the attraction of some of the top Hollywood talent agents. His first agent, Barbara Cameron, was delighted when he signed with her agency. After Barbara's retirement from the business, Jason went on to sign with the Osbrink Talent Agency, who currently handles Jason's career.

Besides acting and modeling, Jason participates in many sports including snowboarding, basketball, and surfing. In addition, Jason is a charter member of "Kids With A Cause", a charity made up of celebrity kids and teens who host activities and fundraising events to help benefit children who are less fortunate. His favorite activity is the smiles he receives when he visits the children at local area hospitals. "The kids don't care who I am or what I've done, they just want to hang out and I like to hang out with them", says Jason.

Jason can be seen in many print ads, photographed by the renowned photographer, Bruce Weber, for such clients as Abercrombie & Fitch, Versace and Ralph Lauren. He has also done campaigns for Bloomdales, Nike and Westfield Shopping Malls. His TV credits include MTV's, "Date My Mom", Hallmark's, "Jane Doe, 2" and "The Amanda Show". Jason's film credits include the movie releases of "Pleasantville", starring Reese Witherspoon and Toby McGuire, "Mod Squad", starring Clair Danes and Omar Epps, "Stepmom", starring Susan Sarandon and Julia Roberts, and the short film directed by Bruce Weber called, "Chop Suey".
