EQUIPPED with a background in instruction, leadership, mentorship, and customer service, Jason Gibson is a native of Jackson, MS. Jason graduated from Callaway High school and went on to accept a full basketball scholarship from Holmes community college. He sought and obtained his Associate of Arts in Social Sciences. Jason furthered his education at Jackson state University by receiving his Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences.
Jason sought and obtained his M.A in History at Jackson State University. His research interests include the evolution of the Civil Rights Movement as a theory and practice. He has guest lectured in African American Literature courses at The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Jackson State University, Tougaloo College and Millsaps College on the Civil Rights era.
Jason opened a private fitness facility, Xplicit J3 Fitness, in April of 2017. XJ3 made its mark as one of the fastest growing private fitness facilities in the State of Mississippi. The gym was recently selected as “Best Fitness Gym” on the Best of Jackson ballot, and recently moved into a larger location. Jason made the difficult decision in November 2022 to sell his portion of the gym to devote himself fully to academia.
Jason is currently seeking a doctoral degree in Higher Ed Administration at the University of Southern Mississippi. He also served as a student success coach and adjunct Professor of History at the Historic Tougaloo College. Jason is now the interim chair for the department, and a full-time professor.
Mr. Gibson realizes the importance of spiritual progression and business endeavors; therefore, he ensures that he studies diligently within both sectors. Mr. Gibson honed his business and creative abilities in starting his own real estate company, Jason Gibson Enterprises. Jason is currently preparing to release his first book in 2023, entitled, Pray Plan Execute, When Believers Boss Up.
