Jered is passionate about exploring emerging technologies and helping clients understand how these technologies can help create safer, more connected environments that are well-equipped to achieve their goals. He firmly believes that when people don’t feel safe or struggle to use technology, organizations can lose millions in wasted time, resources, and productivity.

Jered began his career in 2006 as a field technician installing infrastructure cabling. During his six-year tenure, he took advantage of every opportunity to expand his knowledge and experience in the telecommunications industry. His leadership and problem-solving skills led him to responsibilities of engineering, design, proposal preparation, and even consulting with clients.

Here at CRUX, Jered works directly with clients to understand their challenges and budget while identifying leading-edge technologies that can help meet their needs. For Jered, learning and staying ahead in the ever-evolving technology landscape is just as important as delivering results for his clients.

Jered enjoys working on unique projects, such as the Dr. Sarah Jandrucko Academy for Early Learners in Mansfield, Texas, and the Discovery Lab, a children’s museum in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Both challenged him to think creatively about every aspect of the projects, from camera locations, housing colors, telecom spaces, cable pathways, and everything in between. Though technology and security needs are often at odds with design aesthetics, Jered feels working within those boundaries is critical with specialty projects like these. 

Jered is a Registered Communications Distribution Designer with BICSI and a member of both BICSI and the Construction Specifications Institute.
