Jason "DJ JayGee" Gardner Overview Overview “But although the cliche says that power always corrupts, what is seldom said ... is that power always reveals. When a man is climbing, trying to persuade others to give him power, concealment is necessary. But as a man obtains more power, camouflage becomes less necessary.” ― Robert A. Caro, The Passage of Power-------Once one of Baltimore Magazine's '30 Under 30', Jason is locally famous for his activism, his distinctive radio presence, his knowledge of the history of politics, and his nightly dissertations on the impact of politics on the arts--and vice versa. Until his recent Embrace into Clan Ventrue by Declan Gornt.Now he has a whole new political arena to navigate.

A suburb of Baltimore City known for being blue-collar and a bit white-trash. He was the only son of a single mother, who regardless of how utterly exhausted she always was--and how painfully young she was when she had him--always made him a priority. They lived with his grandparents in a townhouse on Eastfield Road right behind the Community College of Baltimore County's Dundalk Campus. He did all the things boys in blue-collar Baltimore did: He went fishing, crabbing, and hunting with his grandfather on weekends. Played sports, made friends, and all in all had a normal upbringing. He played Football and Lacrosse at Dundalk High School. At seventeen, he graduated with Honors and a scholarship to UMBC, where he majored in Sociology and Broadcasting.It was in college when he began being shadowed by a P.I., though he didn't know it. He learned later that the man had been hired by his estranged father. A man who he's met a total of twice: Once to 'meet', and once more after his graduated from college so the man could cut him a check for a surprisingly large amount of money so he would 'disappear'. Apparently, Jason was a mistake that could not get out. His father was running for governor of another state on the Republican ticket, but if word got out that he'd had an 'indiscretion' with a much younger woman and a child resulted from that, it could tank his 'family values' platform, as he'd never paid Jason's mother a dime in child support.Jason took the money at his mother's urging, and he signed the NDA, but he's using that money to better himself and the world, regardless of how much it pisses off the man who donated sperm for him to exist. Since he graduated from college, he's bought himself a nifty little townhouse, a small SUV, and is investing in his community works projects. He's an active member of Blue Water Baltimore, various social justice groups including a membership to the Baltimore Chapter of the NSRA, and has been arrested a time or two at local protests.He's living his best life.Now if only he could get his love-life in order....
