Experience
Jared began his career in the early 1990s after earning his Bachelor's (1991) and Master's Degree in Health Services Administration (1994) from the University of Michigan. Shortly after, he founded Jersey Driveway, a driveway maintenance business that funded his world travels. In 1994, he joined Affinity Health Plan, eventually becoming VP of Marketing and Member Services (1994-2004), where he expanded services across NYC through mobile units.
