Jay was born in California and moved to Tucson with his family when he was seven. At eighteen he joined the United States Navy and became a Hospital Corpsman. Jay worked in the Emergency Room at the Navy Medical Center San Diego (dubbed "The Starship of Navy Medicine) in California. After four years of service, HM3 Korza took his leave and went into the private medical sector, a decision he has regretted more than once.

Jay has managed a private medical practice, worked on ambulances in Tucson and Massachusetts, and has been a paramedic for the US Department of Justice Federal Bureau of Prisons. In 2000 he started his career in law enforcement, retiring almost 21 years later as a sergeant with the Pima County Sheriff's Department. Jay spent 15 years on the SWAT team serving as a breacher, sniper, and TEMS (Tactical Emergency Medical Services) paramedic.

Jay is currently enjoying his "retirement" working as a flight paramedic and teaching at the local paramedic program and law enforcement academy when possible.
