Arts
Jameson currently serves as the member-elected president of the Board of Governors of The Arts Club of Washington, the oldest nonprofit arts organization in the nation’s capital, and one committed to elevating all forms of artistic expression, facilitating cultural conversations, and preserving the unique history of their permanent collection and buildings, including the historic Monroe House, former home to President James Monroe. He began his term in April, 2025.
He was founding artistic director of FABUM (For A Better Understanding of Mankind), a 501c3 that presented original performances, play festivals, youth programs, and other creative gatherings centered around the pursuit of self-realization.
He has written, produced and directed immersive theatrical works and events, received artist fellowships from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, and has participated in international artist residencies, notably a summer on Hrísey island off the north coast of Iceland under “the midnight sun”.
Jameson previously served on the Board of Governors of The Arts Club, as well as chair of the organization's drama and programs committees. He launched a speaker series there in 2019.
He helped launch the Diplomats of Dance Society in support of the cultural diplomacy of the Dana Tai Soon Burgess Dance Company.
He enjoys black and white film photography, and his first series of photographs (“Lost Roads”) were exhibited at The Arts Club in 2021.
Yoga
Jameson received his initial yoga training from Dr. Ashutosh Agarwal, disciple of Swami Krishnananda Saraswati, at the Swami Krishnananda Yoga Vidyapeeth Ashram in Mysore, India, as well as teacher and gold medalist Yogacharya Kadambari CP. He has trained in Kaiut Yoga, a method focused on joint and muscular-skeletal rejuvenation, under Francisco Kaiut, the technique’s founder.
Other work
Inspired by BP’s 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, Jameson lobbied Congress as part of an advocacy campaign called CETAB (Cleaner Environment Through Accountability in Bankruptcy) in order to amend the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to prevent corporate environmental clean up costs (such as from the Deepwater Horizon disaster) being passed on to U.S. tax payers.
As owner/operator of The Freeman Group, he is a creative strategist with broad experience in public relations, messaging, and outreach strategies. He has worked with a variety of public and nonprofit organizations; designing, managing and implementing projects, as well as relationship and partnership building. He has also helped develop materials interpreting scientific and technical language to make information accessible to the general public.
He co-founded IOREX USA (now IOREX Global), bringing an energy-neutral and chemical-free water pipe protection technology from South Korea to the North American market. He was instrumental in the first installation of the technology on a U.S. municipal water system on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.
