Biography
Jason Kotecki, known as “The Champion of Childhood,” is an engaging speaker, entertaining author, and creator of the internationally known comic strip, Kim & Jason.
He is an expert at helping individuals and organizations “Escape Adulthood,” becoming more productive by turning stress into laughter and having more fun every day.
His book Escape Adulthood: 8 Secrets From Childhood for the Stressed-Out Grown-Up, outlines simple ways for adults of all ages to reconnect with the qualities that come naturally to children in order to reduce stress and live more fun and fulfilling lives. Jason is passionate about sharing his message that there is more to life than the hectic busyness, cynical melancholy and overwhelming stress that is typical of most modern lives.
Before it was an idea, Kim & Jason started out as a simple love story. Jason first drew his lovable characters for his girlfriend Kim sometime before the turn of the century. The couple shared a kindred childlike spirit, and Jason used the drawings, which represented the couple as children, on many homemade (aka cheap) gifts designed to win her heart. Luckily for him, this downright sappy ploy helped him to not only win her heart, but also her hand in marriage. The characters took on lives of their own and in 2000, the real Kim and Jason decided to build a company to share the comic strip and its inspiring message.
