Born and raised in a small town in East Central Indiana, Jared taught himself to play the guitar and has dabbled with different bands and creative endeavors throughout his early adulthood.

Now that his children are grown, Jared is pursuing his goals of acting, producing, songwriting, composing, and writing.
I’m incredibly grateful to Dan Parks for trusting me with my first directing experience. I wanted to tell a story that doesn’t avoid the hard places — five wounded souls meeting in an old church during a robbery — to show that God often works through the mess long before the miracle. My hope was to capture the story Dan intended, in a way that honors both his vision and what God would be proud of.
