Jason M. Oldfield
Hello,Here are some photos taken of me in Berlin where I am teaching English. This is the top of the Reichstag Building, and was on the cover of my German text book Treffpunkt Deutsch fifth edition. I studied German as part of my International Business degree. Studying German in Thompson hall from two great German women sparked my interest in their people and
culture. I Love Germany!

On June 13th (2007), we were blessed with the birth of our third son, Jared
Spencer Parrish. Kurtis and Blake love their new brother. On all accounts, life
is good! My family and I have recently moved to Tulsa, OK where I attend law
school. I will be specializing in International Human Rights, and upon
graduation, plan to focus on human rights violations in Latin America. During
law school I have tremendous opportunities to assist those in need of legal
advice regarding immigration issues on a pro bono basis. Although I am far from
WSU, I am (and will always be) a COUG in my heart.
