About Out In The Sun's owner:
Jaron Smith, ABOC, NCLEC
Jaron is the proud owner of Out In The Sun. An entrepreneur at heart since childhood, Jaron finally took the leap into small business ownership. Originally intending to create a full scale high-end optical, he realized the need to cater to as specific niche as possible, so the concept of a high-end sunglass boutique was born.
Jaron is a native of Oregon and has always had a great love for the Pacific Northwest. Jaron has also spent time living in Atlanta, Georgia.
Jaron has been in the optical profession since 1995, with briefs stints of trying something outside of the industry, but always coming back. He is nationally certified by the American Board of Opticianry and also holds certification by the National Contact Lens Examiners. Jaron's passion is being the best Optician he can possibly be for his clients. He is thrilled to now be an Independent Optician, which will prevent any limitations on the service and quality he can offer.
Jaron spends most of his time working on growing the business but will almost always be available the majority of business hours to assist clients in obtaining the best pair of sunglasses they have ever owned. When not working, which is a rareity lately, he spends time with his two beautiful cats, Devon & Nestle. Jaron also enjoys the outdoors from hiking to camping, photography, movies, music, eBay, eating out and travel.
