Prior to forming WJ Interests in 1996, Jared worked as a Professional Engineer at Ch2m Hill among other firms. As Jared made the transition from a Professional Engineer into Finance, he was able to apply his methodical, reasoned approach he used in solving engineering problems to solving client’s financial problems.
