Jared beyond the office:

  • What is your favorite book? Probably either The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov or the collected works of Henry David Thoreau. I encountered both in high school apart from the classroom and still return to them each year.
  • Favorite outdoor activity? I love being in and near the water- in the ocean, at a lake, or in a pool! A true Pisces….
  • What brings you joy? Watching my children play water polo and lacrosse; I grew up immersed in basketball, so having never played either as a youth, my ignorance enables me to enjoy and appreciate the games, and they’re both so physically demanding, it really garners my respect for their work and effort to excel.
  • What is the last concert you saw? I saw Slowdive, a shoegaze British band, at the Warfield in San Francisco. That’s a legendary venue where the Grateful Dead were the de facto house band in the 80’s, so it was a doubly great experience.
