Jared was born in Aberdeen, and grew up on the family farm north of Mansfield, SD.  Jared went to high school in Warner, South Dakota.  All while growing up Jared knew returning to the family farm was what the future had in store for him, and after college at North Dakota State College of Science, he did just that.  Jared and his wife Tara now work full time on the family farm with their children Brooklyn and Jackson.  In his free time Jared enjoys hunting white tail deer, going to the races and fishing.  Jared works daily to better the land around him and leave a lasting legacy for his children and the generations to come.
