He hails originally from Los Angeles. His YouTube channel/podcast, “Unshaken,” helps people study the scriptures. He is a former resident of Tennessee where he studied in the Divinity School at Vanderbilt University, where he is now a PhD candidate in Historical Studies with a focus on American religious history. While attending Vanderbilt, Jared sometimes was called upon to speak to college classes or to non-LDS congregations in the Nashville community to explain his religious beliefs, especially during the Mitt Romney presidential run.
