Prior to becoming an elected official, Jared was a public servant for the neighborhood he grew up in, Northeast Philadelphia. Jared was raised in the Castor Gardens neighborhood by a single mom. He is a graduate of Swarthmore College and earned his law degree from Villanova University. Jared made the ultimate commitment for his country and serves as an Army Reserve JAG officer. He practiced as an attorney, before founding  a local civic group from 2008-2016. While serving as the president for nearly 10 years, Jared worked to foster and protect the future generation of Northeast citizens by establishing a youth basketball program, building playgrounds and revitalizing our business corridors. Jared and his wife, Tiffani, live in the same neighborhood Jared grew up in, Castor Gardens. 

Jared is working to change the narrative of Philadelphia; he believes it is finally time politicians rise above the corruption that has held back our city. He is speaking to truth to light, taking the steps that need to be taken, and standing up in places where others back down. It is time the government stop serving the needs of the corrupt few and instead govern as a Philadelphia for all.
