Jasper is a creative and fast-learning person who can do good work even in a short amount of time. I have known Jasper since 6th Grade and recently I am on a team with him in a Game Design Class. Even if you give him something he has never done before, he will watch tutorials and learn super fast to be able to do anything. He is not only a serious worker but he can also be fun and entertaining. He is an excellent worker that can accomplish anything and anyone would be lucky to have him working for them.
