ABOUT TFMT Racing's founder
SFC Jason C. Scott, USA (Retired)-Director, VA Lending, Task Force Mortgage Team, NMLS: 1160791
After 20 years of service in the U.S. Army, with multiple combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, I've witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by my fellow veterans. Now retired, I'm dedicated to assisting veterans in purchasing or refinancing their homes and building long-term wealth through their VA Home loan benefit.
Additionally, I serve as the founder/owner and one of the team drivers of the #18 BMW (affectionately named "Old Faithful") on the TFMT Racing team. Witnessing the struggles of transitioning veterans inspired me to create a platform to support those in need of guidance.
My car has been funded by myself and through small donations from others who share our mission of assisting fellow veterans. I firmly believe that our work is making a positive impact beyond racing.
Outside of my professional endeavors, I cherish spending time with my wife of 15 years and our three sons, who have blessed us with nine wonderful grandchildren.
