James Madison Athletics promoted Jason Krech to the new role of Director of Athletics Communications, as announced by Director of Athletics Jeff Bourne on April 24, 2018.

Krech has continued his primary contact assignments with men's basketball and men's and women's golf, while adding office leadership and coordination duties. He directly oversees a staff of four communications professionals who are responsible for the internal and external communication efforts of JMU Athletics.

Prior to his promotion and since returning to JMU in 2014, Krech has served as an assistant director of athletics communications. On top of his duties with his assigned sports, he has served on the branding committee responsible for the development and continued implementation of JMU Athletics' refreshed visual identity. Krech was also a part of the coordination and execution for the announcement of the Union Bank & Trust Center corporate partnership.

Additionally, he played a vital role in the promotion and production of ESPN College GameDay when James Madison hosted the show in 2015 and 2017, and has had a lead role in the social media efforts for football and general athletics social media accounts on football game days.

Krech graduated from JMU in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in sport and recreation management with minors in sports communications and general business. While completing his degree, he served as an athletics communications student assistant from 2008-2011.

The Harrisonburg native went on to serve two years as an athletic communications assistant at the University of North Florida, then spent a year at Virginia Tech in the same role before making his way back to the Shenandoah Valley.
