About me

Jason Wheeler - Since the tender age of 9, Jason has proudly worn the badge of ‘Omer’ (one who does Odyssey of the Mind), dedicating his life to ensuring every kid gets a taste of the magic that is OM. We’re talking about the kind of magic that builds teamwork, resiliency, flexibility, and empathy—basically, the superhero toolkit for life. Over his 35-year Odyssey (pun totally intended), Jason has mingled with tens of thousands of kids at both state and global levels. He’s been endlessly inspired by the transformations he’s seen and the hurdles Omers have leaped over—sometimes literally, because, you know, kids. When Jason isn’t busy being the ultimate OM volunteer, he’s juggling roles like a pro. By day, he’s a full-time technology sales whiz. By night, he’s a full-time husband and father. And somewhere in between, he finds time to be a part-time youth soccer coach on the beautiful Coast of Maine.
