Where Are They Now Wednesday: Fortin
From dropping in a basket to dripping in a mug
The VIU Mariners men’s basketball team featured forward Jason Fortin over the course of five seasons from 2011-2016.
During his time in the PACWEST Fortin was a force down low for the Mariners. He helped his club to a pair of PACWEST championship banners and won a national CCAA gold medal in 2013. Individually Fortin was named a PACWEST championship tournament all-star twice and was a national tournament all-star at the 2015 CCAA finals.
Since graduating from VIU, Fortin hasn’t gone far. He did some travelling following school, but he is right back in Nanaimo and running a successful business. As a matter of fact his business is going so well, that he is expanding to a second location despite the pandemic.
He talks with Ryan Watters about “Drip Coffee | Social” and what else he has been doing since we last saw him in a Mariners uniform in 2016.
