About Jared
Founder & CEO
Jared has been in the fire sprinkler industry for over 20 years. He started his career as a fire sprinkler apprentice installer and moved his way up to a licensed journeyman. While in the journeyman role, he went to night school to learn how to use AutoCAD and transitioned to a designer role from there. He eventually moved his way into several additional roles including superintendent, estimator, project manager, design manager, and eventually the Director of the fire protection division at a large mechanical firm in the Midwest. He has estimated, designed, and managed the fire protection work on hospital facilities, industrial projects, schools, large mixed-use buildings and more.
Jared strongly believes in the benefits of a great design team. Out of his dream and desire to bring a better design delivery method to market in the construction industry, Jared built Driven Fire Consultants from the ground up.
