CURRENT MISSION

To be half the man my dog thinks I am

ABOUT ME

I really enjoy meeting new people. I'm very laid back and I feel like I make people comfortable for that reason. I will always be a student, whether it be in an official university or in the many classrooms the world presents for us to learn in. I am not extreme in anything I do, I like to find balance in my views, my interests and my vices.

PHILOSOPHY

Karma baby! Be good to people and they will be good to you!

Interests

We are active and will be constantly doing something for the rest of our lives. I (Jared) enjoy volleyball, basketball, tennis and cycling. My road bike is a huge part of my transportation around town. Kristen is new to Denver and looking to explore the city more too. She is a speech language pathologist and has traveled extensively in Latin America as well as Spain. She plays several instruments and plays flute in a local community band. Music is a big part of our lives and we commonly have music playing.
