Jason Crabill
Executive Director
crabill@decartsohio.org

​Jason worked at the Ohio History Connection for 14 years. His last role was manager of Curatorial Services, and he managed the curatorial staff for 10 years. Jason's degrees are in library science and anthropology, but he has worked professionally primarily in museums. He was even a volunteer at COSI in middle and high school and then worked for COSI on Wheels when he graduated college. Jason got his master’s degree in library science and wanted to work in the confluence of history, art, and archives. DACO is a perfect fit.
