Teacher, Coach, Entrepreneur, Author
Jason Curlee grew up in Edna, Texas under the Friday night lights. He's a former high school football athlete turned storyteller, blending grit, heart, and small-town soul into emotionally rich coming-of-age fiction.
A lover of U.S. history, Jason has spent years in the classroom helping students understand that history is more than dates and events. It is people making choices, facing pressure, chasing dreams, making mistakes, and trying to figure out where they belong.
That same belief sits at the heart of his fiction.
Alongside his wife, Jason is part of Storm Performance Volleyball, a Corpus Christi volleyball program where he coaches, leads, and helps build athletes both on and off the court. Coaching has given him a front-row seat to competition, confidence, failure, accountability, team culture, and the quiet moments when young people start discovering who they really are.
Those themes show up throughout Jason’s writing.
As the author of seven self-published books, Jason writes coming-of-age stories filled with sports, small-town life, friendship, humor, heartbreak, and the kind of everyday moments that stay with us long after they pass. His work often explores the space between who people pretend to be and who they are still becoming.
Whether he is teaching history, coaching athletes, building a business, or writing fiction, Jason is drawn to the same thing: stories that matter because the people in them feel real.
Beyond the Books
Beyond the classroom, the gym, and the books, Jason is a husband, father, grandfather, and traveler who believes the best stories usually come from real places, real people, and the moments we do not realize are important until years later.
He lives in Corpus Christi, Texas, where he continues to teach, coach, write, and build stories one chapter at a time.
