I am here for Friends

About Me

My name is Jared. I define myself first and foremost as a christian. Now, I know that many people have problems with christianity and I am grieved that many christians, including myself, have tarnished Christ's name and have expressed and displayed him in such a way that brings him shame. Either way, I am a follower of Christ and believe that any good thing you see in me is born from the Great Light, the Great Love that lives within me. My christian identity aside, I am very interested in the martial arts, I am a black belt in Taekwondo and am currently taking Danzan Ryu Juijitsu under Craig Kutil. I am captivated by the written word, and metaphors in particular. There is so much power in the written word and thus I want my career path to reflect this passion. Finally, I am incredibly interested in individuals. In fact, My deepest desire is to really understand and be understood by people.
