Jared loves knitting shawls, scarves, and beanies, and brings patience, encouragement, and a playful spirit to teaching. A full-time professional at the Burkhart Center and part of a family of educators, he has a natural gift for helping others learn. An award-winning knitter, Jared has earned numerous ribbons at the South Plains Fair, including Best in Show for Knitting in 2025, and also received Blue and Red ribbons in his first year entering the State Fair of Texas.
