Latitude42 is owned and operated by Jason Kallen. Before founding Latitude42 in 2009, Jason served as the media director at an advertising agency where he oversaw all hospitality industry accounts. He has worked with hospitality providers in most U.S. markets as well as Canada and the Caribbean, on accounts ranging from boutique hotels to international chains and everything in between.
Jason received his B.A. Degree from the University of Michigan and his M.A. from Northwestern University – a Big Ten fan to the core. Other loves are the Rocky Mountains, the Cubs, the Blackhawks, and ‘90s alt rock. And he could probably destroy you in Scrabble® and bowling - perhaps even at the same time.
