Andrew's parents were George Jason, an entertainer and electrical engineer, and Ruth Williams, an actress. He spent his first seven years in Kew Gardens Hills, Queens, New York City.
Tragically, his father passed away in 1959 from heart failure. That same year, Andrew, his mother, and his three siblings — Rusudana, (Rucy), Alexander, and Nicolas, relocated to Mexico City. The family embarked on an adventurous road trip in a 1946 Dodge limousine, camping along the way and stopping at noteworthy sites, including museums in Philadelphia, historic Jamestown, the beaches of Cape Hatteras, and many others. A playful family rule, established by Nicolas and Andrew, mandated stops at any playground featuring a spiral slide for a few exhilarating rides. The trip lasted 3 months and they never had a flat tire.
Andrew began first grade at PS 165 in Kew Gardens Hills before continuing his education in Mexico City, where he ultimately graduated from high school. He then moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, launching a career in electronics as a technician at companies such as Physical Electronics Laboratories in East Palo Alto (where he tuned Yttrium Iron Garnet, or YIG, filters for radios in military aircraft) and Data Technology (manufacturing digital circuit boards).
Later, Andrew partnered with his brother Alexander to acquire a TV repair shop in San Francisco, renaming it Jason Electronics and relocating it to Mission Street. The venture lasted only two years, Andrew soon joined Fairchild Camera and Instrument in Mountain View, California, for a five-year stint. He then returned to New York, working for Mergenthaler Linotype Company in Plainview, Long Island—a pioneering manufacturer of Linotype machines that used molten lead for hot-metal typesetting, as the company transitioned to electronic systems.
Mergenthaler dispatched him worldwide to install, repair, and train users on Linotype typesetting equipment. After five years, during an annual review, he was informed that no raise was possible without moving into management (for which no opening existed). He resigned and launched his own consulting business, operating independently for the next 30 years. During this period, he became the exclusive dealer in the Americas for Founder Electronics of Beijing, distributing their Raster Image Processor (RIP) software across North, Central, and South America.
From 2015 to 2023, Andrew served as a Senior Technical Specialist at First Data Corporation (later acquired by Fiserv), providing support for users of the Clover point-of-sale system. In 2023, he returned to independent consulting and, in December 2025, formally registered his business as Jason Technical Service (jasontech.com) in Florida, where he now resides in Brevard County.
