humble beginnings.

Jared was raised by working parents who served more than 40 combined years as public school teachers in District 6. His mother, Adrian, retired as a second-grade teacher from Poynter Elementary, and his father, Joseph, retired as a English teacher from South Hills High School. Early on, his parents taught him and his brother the value of working hard and helping others.

After graduating from North Crowley High School, Jared went on to earn his doctorate in environmental science & science education from the University of North Texas. He worked alongside local residents and families as a graduate student to create local solutions on issues such as water conservation, smarter waste management and sustainable urban infrastructure.
