Jared joined The Sherdog Radio Network in early 2012 as a part-time board operator, securing the position after an on-air job interview. Jared was quickly pegged as an upstart talent for his tireless ambition, unflappable moxie, and devil-may-care attitude towards his personal finances. When Jared isn't sharing his love of mixed martial arts with The Sherdog Radio Network, he trains no-gi grappling and striking, works as a freelance writer and events coordinator, and can be found most evenings following college basketball or catching up on the latest in lowgrade, feckless reality television, much to the chagrin of his loved ones.
