Jason Ellis (born 11 October 1971) is an Australian professional skateboarder, mixed martial artist, radio host, and actor. Ellis hosts The Jason Ellis Show weekdays on Sirius XM Radio channel Faction (Sirius).

Personal life

Jason Ellis moved to the United States at age 17 to become a professional skateboarder. He turned professional in 1990 and began his skateboarding career where he quickly became one of the top ranked pro skateboarders for nearly two decades. He and Tony Hawk became acquaintances due to the closeness in age and still remain friends to this day. After his rapid decline from the top of the professional vert skating ranks, Jason soon found himself homeless on the streets of Las Vegas and addicted to inhalants (huffing paint). Jason currently lives in Los Angeles, California. Jason married Andrea Brown at The Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas on March 26, 2006. They have a daughter Devin Michelle (who he often calls Snookie), born in March 2005, and a son, Tiger Lee, born in February 2009. Most recently Jason took the title of the fastest skateboarder on two wheels when he beat out the competition at Pala Raceway September 10, 2010.
