Born and raised in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, Jared splits his time between North American coasts, mainly LA & Toronto. After playing football at Penn State from 06-09, and being drafted in the first round to the Miami Dolphins in 2010, Jared went on to play seven years of professional NFL football in Florida: five seasons with the Dolphins, followed by two years on a remunerative, multi-year free agent contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars. His combination of size, athleticism and ability made him a highly-coveted, versatile, defensive lineman.
