About
Jason Eaton is the founder and president of Social Thread. Jason began his career as an ecologist. After years of work as an activist on social and environmental issues, combined with a few classes on economics, he decided the best way to bring about sustainability was to influence the way money works. Jason’s undergraduate studies were in Natural Resource Ecology and holds a graduate certificate in Environmental Education, both from the University of Idaho . Jason is both a Registered Representative and an Investment Advisor Representative. His work focuses on building ethically screened portfolios. This includes sovereign bonds, precious metals, foreign currency, natural resources, community investing, and small or micro cap stocks of sustainable businesses. His interests include the economics of localization and innovative investment strategies for social change. Lately his work has focused on helping new clients preserve capital through the crisis.
