Jason Hackett

Where did you grow up?

My dad was in the army since before I was born until just before in got into high school. I’ve lived in Texas, Maryland, Indiana, California, Massachusetts, and Germany. I went to high school in a suburb of Indianapolis starting in 1993 so I’m basically from Indiana now.

What did you study/what are you interested in?

My degrees are in Audio Engineering and Music. I’ve spent a lot of time studying languages – mostly Italian and Latin. I play a lot of board games and I’m sometimes into photography when I have extra time.

What were you up to before Cardinal?

I was working as a bartender and I also managed a warehouse at one time for a few years.

What do you do at Cardinal/elsewhere?

I’m the Production & Compliance manager at Cardinal Spirits. That entails a lot of everything that goes on here. I make sure we have the raw materials to make our products from start to finish as well as coordinate scheduling and staffing with our Head Distiller, Justin Hughey. For the Compliance portion of my job, I make certain that everything is recorded correctly so that we pay our taxes on time and in the correct amount. In addition to that, I am working on opening a business of my own this year.

Do you have thoughts about Cardinal or life you want to share, yearbook-style?

I really love candy.
