Raised in a spiritually connected household, Jared’s early experiences fostered emotional awareness and vulnerability. A near-death experience following the loss of his father to AIDS catalyzed a profound shift in his perspective. He decided to dedicate his life to personal growth and service to others.
After graduating from Purdue University in 2010, Jared embarked on a transformative journey of self-discovery. He quit his corporate job, learned to surf, traveled the world, studied yoga, and learned from indigenous shamans in Ecuador.
Today, Jared dedicates his time to facilitating MenLiving meetings, providing one-on-one coaching, leading breathwork and meditation groups, mentoring high-school students, and giving keynote speeches. His work aligns seamlessly with MenLiving’s mission to create
spaces where men can connect, heal, and thrive.
Jared is a dedicated life coach and facilitator based in San Diego, California. Through his practice, Sparks of Consciousness, he guides others towards a life of balance, joy, fulfillment, and purpose. His personal journey and deep understanding of the masculine experience make him a compassionate and effective guide for men seeking connection, healing, and growth.
