Jared Military
Army Veteran
deployed in 2020

Much of my resilience and ability to persevere were learned during my six year military service with  The Ohio Army National Guard. After serving five years on a part time basis, I was deployed to Kuwait in 2020 in support of Operation Spartan Shield.

I continue to value the many soft skills and improved social awareness gained from my service.

East Coast mentality
midwest charm

Born in Newark, New Jersey; I’m a product of two hard working parents who did everything they could to provide the best for their family. In 2001, we relocated to Reynoldsburg Ohio, which I consider my true home.

Experiencing life in both the fast-paced culture of the East Coast and the more measured, relationship-focused environment of the Midwest has given me firsthand insight into how regional differences shape communication.

focused on the future

The ultimate goal is to own and operate a small business or startup with the intention of scaling the business for an eventual sale or franchising opportunity. I am on a path to learn as many soft skills and build foundational knowledge of business development. After considerable work, I seek to improve and innovate in a cross functional role that utilizes my creative skills to build and manage an effective digital marketing funnels or exceptional content creation pipelines.
