Jason Moschetto grew up on the east coast, just outside Washington D.C. Attending highly diverse public schools, he developed a natural, comprehensive fluency born from a deep immersion in diverse cultures, complex urban realities, and advanced academics. As early as elementary school, his curiosity, analytical mindset, and innate ability to connect with seemingly anyone, of any age, began drawing high-level attention. In just 1st grade, he was discussing the nuanced structural logic of vocabulary with his teachers, and by 3rd grade, was drafting conceptual schematics for self-sustaining Mars colonies, consistently demonstrating an advanced, multi-disciplinary grasp of the world. Outside of academics, Jason demonstrated an inherent drive to stand up for and protect others, an instinct that applied just as much to his local neighborhoods as it did to his formal service as a School Safety Patrol, while also learning survival skills as a Boy Scout. Before long, NASA officials caught on and initiated recruitment efforts, providing personal tours of their facilities and regular visits to discuss recent missions.
At 12 years old, when his parents divorced and his mother faced extreme financial hardship, Jason urged her to turn down outside handouts, making a promise that he would generate the income himself, fearing that accepting public assistance would take away from others that truly needed it. With his rare blend of high-level intellect and street-level resourcefulness, he kept his promise. First recognizing an opportunity to take over a local pool’s struggling snack bar, he investigated the county code restrictions holding the business back. Jason convinced the pool board to let him take over, and with just minor changes, he turned a $200 investment into nearly $6,000 profit in just 3 months. Jason quickly used those profits to develop several other businesses, including a neighborhood lawn care service, and when his mom enrolled in a community college computer course to better her own abilities, he recognized the blueprint for his most ambitious venture yet. Despite her initial hesitation, he convinced his mom to petition the professor to allow him a seat in the room. The professor approved, and Jason rapidly absorbed the college-level curriculum, leveraging it to launch a technical support services company at just 13 years old. This technical venture quickly scaled from helping neighbors and friends to providing high-level support for an Internet Service Provider and Montgomery County Public Schools. Alongside these rapid successes, Jason continued to be involved in the community. He joined a local church, where he participated in a handful of mission trips, served as a middle and high-school youth leader, and was eventually elected as an Elder, though he was still just 17 years old.
The week of his high school graduation, a recruiter from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), NASA's sister agency, knocked on the door of Jason’s childhood home. Quietly revealing that they had also been monitoring his entrepreneurial ventures since he was 13, they offered him a chance to interview with their agency, and onboarded him immediately. Still just 17 years old, Jason had already launched a full-time career with the Federal Government, serving as an analyst for the National Ocean Service, Special Projects Office. Here, he implemented secure networks, developed first-of-their-kind load-balancing GIS server systems, and even wrote the office's mission statement. Despite his rapid success, after just a few years, Jason made the difficult decision to put his career on the sidelines to serve as the primary caregiver for his terminally ill father, who he would eventually follow to Southern California. There, Jason continued providing technical and analytical services, and started a not-for-profit computer repair company, known as New Again PC, which focused on ethical waste reduction and community support. He later accepted a position as a Senior Lifeguard with the City of Long Beach, serving as a community program leader, and Supervisor in Charge, in the historically underserved and gang-impacted Westside. Drawing on his lifelong comfort with active street dynamics, he operated naturally within the environment. When his part-time city staff began asking for additional hours that he simply could not give them, he developed his own private lifeguarding company, Choice Lifeguards, the first of its kind in the state of California, to fill in their scheduling gaps and keep their earnings flowing. The business grew quickly to provide event safety services to Hollywood celebrities and elite individuals throughout Greater Los Angeles and Orange County, before Jason once again returned to the Federal Government.
Totaling over 15 years of Federal Service to date, Jason built his career across multiple U.S. Government agencies. He spent much of his tenure in operational command, serving as a Supervisory Officer, Field Training Officer, and as a deployable asset working with several elite agencies, including the U.S. Secret Service, to execute critical protection protocols. Often overseeing secure perimeters and specializing in advanced explosive (IED) detection, he also served as a Threat Awareness and Countermeasures (TACT) Team Leader, operating undercover to locate and exploit vulnerabilities. His findings were used to train local officers, and sometimes exposed systemic gaps, leading to several additions or even ground-up rewrites of agency Standard Operating Procedures (SOP). He assisted in the creation and development of Risk-Based Security initiatives, and was heavily relied upon to prevent, detect, and respond to active threats in high-stakes environments, including National Special Security Events (NSSE), supervising up to 75 Officers in the performance of their mission-critical duties.
Eventually transitioning into an Investigator role, Jason conducted high-level analysis, along with both covert and overt field operations with a high degree of autonomy, for many years. His work required untangling complex webs of information across multiple domains, including locating elusive individuals and their assets, navigating complex tax issues, and following the illicit flow of capital or the movement of real property, often hidden deeply within cloaked and nested entities or identities. By adeptly merging high-level intelligence gathering with analytical discernment, he expertly managed the sensitive resolution of cases for those willing to comply and face penalties, alongside the building of robust cases for Federal prosecutors when warranted. Throughout his years of service, he honed a unique operational awareness that seamlessly bridged physical protection and high-level intelligence, fully mastering the ability to read people, locate the untrackable, and manage volatile situations with absolute discretion.
Growing up in a household that couldn't afford outside help for home or auto repairs, Jason acquired a robust foundation in construction and mechanics. He and his father regularly wandered into homes under construction to shadow skilled workers or observe completed work, studied Haynes repair manuals for their vehicles, and eventually honed their skills to handle any problem that came their way. Years later, as his Federal career grew, he channeled this ingrained self-reliance and entrepreneurial spirit into architectural design. Starting with a simple living room built-in for his mother that was eventually adopted by one of the country's largest residential developers, his talents rapidly scaled. By 27, he had mastered CAD software and designed and built a 2,000-square-foot multi-story addition to his own home. His hands-on execution and involvement in every aspect of the design, permitting, and physical build caught the attention of neighbors, leading Jason to take on other projects. This scaled up to the full start-to-finish architectural design and build of a beautiful three-story, multi-unit hillside residential building overlooking the downtown LA skyline, featuring a deck on every level. Most impressively, Jason completed what was quoted as an $800,000 build, for just over $400,000.
Currently, Jason operates the full spectrum of his talents through National Safety Group, LLC. Drawing on his combined federal, municipal, and private-sector background, the firm is built on absolute operational fluidity, adapting precisely to the needs of the client. Ranging from high-level physical protection, location, and recovery of persons or assets, to comprehensive event safety and venue planning, and extending seamlessly to tax-focused asset protection, business or real-estate investment consulting, and forward-facing architectural design and project management, it is a purpose-built firm focused entirely on solving complex problems. To Jason, it unifies his mission to assist and protect individuals, businesses, government entities, and their assets, across all available avenues, and through all possible ventures.
