Hi Mark,
With /var/www/html owned by root:root and me loggin in as 'jason' I cannot accomplish this. I don't allow root logins over ssh...

Not a great idea. Rather, I'd recommend that it be the apache user (apache or httpd, whichever you have it as, and have the directory of a group that you belong to (remember, you can have multiple secondary groups, like, say, group httpd), and make it group writeable.
I don't quite follow.
if I do a 'getent groups' I do have apache as a group.
So you are saying set the owner of /var/www/html<my domain> and all files below to apache:apache and then add my personal id to the apache group?
