Jarred

Jarred was born and raised in Birmingham, Alabama. He graduated from Davidson College with a degree in Political Science and French. He currently lives in San Francisco, and works in Mountain View, CA as the Legal Assistant for the Product Counsel team at Google. He plans to attend law school, and hopes to one day work as in-house counsel for a technology company.

Jarred has worked for Lightfoot Franklin & White LLC in Birmingham, the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington D.C., Dr. Patrick Sellers at Davidson College, and Williams & Connolly LLP in Washington, D.C.  He spent his junior year of college in Tours, France.

Jarred has been blogging since 2005: first on his personal blog (now retired) and now at Tropophilia. A lot of Jarred’s writing focuses on web 2.0, social networking, and the intersection of people’s physical and virtual worlds and lives. He’s interested in the impact of these on the personal level (relationships, habits, health, privacy); on the community level (families, businesses, government); and on the cultural level (traditions, trends).  Jarred also enjoys writing about gadgets, science, and politics.

In his free time between work and Tropophilia, Jarred enjoys listening to music and playing the drums and bass guitar.  He’s also into biking, camping, hiking, tennis, reading, and gaming.
