Through running, Jared found his path and learned how to approach obstacles as opportunities. He has earned a Masters in Communication from USC, an MBA from Seattle Pacific, and worked 12 years in collegiate athletics, including Director of Football Operations for the University of Washington and the University of Southern California. Jared is fortunate to have qualified for, and run the Boston Marathon, earn a top ten finish in the San Francisco Ultra Marathon and achieve a top five finish in the Runner’s World Grand Slam.
