Hey wrench-heads! Dude, as soon as I caught TIA on YouTube I knew these guys were like-minded and rocked. My name is Jared. I am 35 yrs old and was born with a Nintendo controller in one hand and a GameBoy in the other. I have been a tech-head and a farm boy from Day 1. In the last 20 years I have been a cable lineman, Geek Squad Home Theater installer and ISF certified calibrator, PC network agent, and custom tattoo shop manager. In between all that I have also fronted metal bands and done stand up comedy for Big Vin Records (Vinnie Paul of Pantera) in Las Vegas up until 2010.
Since then, I have focused on the AV, Networking, and Security industry as a custom, high-end installer. I love the clients I work for and the gear that I get to play with every day. The tools I use are the icing on the cake. What brought me to TIA is the fact that these guys are like-minded. I would like to take my skills now and move into the woodworking and cabinetry aspect now….so here I am. On top of that, my fiancé and I bought a house a year ago and there is a lot of stuff I would love to do….but need the guidance.
Aside from Daddy-duties to 4 yr old and 5 yr old daughters that consist of make-up tutorials and Disney, I love my career and my passions: family, music, work, and politics. I support: Vanessa, Phoenix, Hayden, & Harper,, bands Shadows Fall, Anthrax, Mastodon, Five Finger Death Punch, Mudvayne, HellYeah, In Flames, Soilwork, Ghost BC, Guns ‘n Roses, Metallica, Megadeth, Trivium, Speedfinger. And my tools: DeWalt, Kobalt, Bosch, Husky, Ridgid, Milwaukee, Rockwell, Element, Platinum Tools, Skyline Cable, Skywalker AV, Lowes, Home Depot.
Keep it up fellas!
Nice. You seem like a cool dude, love Five Finger Death Punch.

Welcome to the crew AVS, its funny, we seemed to have met each other in Chat before I ever saw your intro post. LOL Well I am known as the forums wacky nutcase, although I have my fine qualities I guess, I just don’t often see them. I always try to tell people, I am trying to see your point of view, I just can’t shove my head that far up my ass. And on that lovely note, welcome 😆
So eloquent as always! ? haha!
