Fisher's father ran for Lt. Governor of Ohio which inspired Fisher to produce an independent feature documentary titled "Swing State" chronicling the 2006 campaign of Ted Strickland and his father, Lee Fisher, and its effect on the 2008 presidential race. It premiered at the Cleveland International Film Festival, as well as the Syracuse Film Festival, and at more than 24 other festivals and screenings around the country. The film led to CBS News hiring him as a youth correspondent for the 2008 presidential race. He also reported for CBSNews.com, The WashingtonPost.com and UWIRE. As a correspondent he attended both national party conventions and the inauguration of President Obama. He appeared on the CBS Early Show as well as Katie Couric's webcast from the floor of the Democratic National Convention.
Fisher is currently the national spokesperson for Gillette, a position he acquired after he and fellow SU grad, Adam Ward '04, submitted a video and won the contest for the Ultimate Summer Job. As the Gillette representatives they traveled around the country at various events, touting Gillette's Fusion Proglide razor. After the Ultimate Summer Job for Gillette ended, instead of emailing Gillette to see if they could still use Adam and Jason, they sent this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNCmhm3-9Go which resulted in Gillette sending them to the Super Bowl and hiring Fisher to host the latest Gillette contest: www.GilletteInvasionChallenge.com
