Jason Ellis: From Pro Skateboarder to SiriusXM Faction Talk Host

Die!) and co-authored two memoir-style books. Since May 2005, Ellis has hosted The Jason Ellis Show on SiriusXM’s Faction Talk. Off air, he has shared aspects of his personal life, including a past marriage, two children and his public coming out as bisexual in 2016.
