Jared started his career in the framing industry in 1991, working for a wholesale supply company in Brisbane called Hughes Mouldings. After many years working as a sales representative, travelling around Australia visiting picture framers & photographers, Jared began to specialize in the area of machinery, equipment & education.

Keeping up with the advancements & changes in technology, as well as the changing methods & applications of framing, Jared was in a vital position of offering technical support and education to both new & experienced framers in the industry, across Australia.

Also working for different retail framing businesses in his spare time, Jared built up an intimate working knowledge and understand of the industry and has since developed proven skills in the technical and marketing areas of the business.

Due to his exposure to all different levels of the industry, Jared passionately supports the implementation of conservation standards in framing, and has obtained the recognised credentials of Certified Picture Framer (CPF^®) and Guild Commended Framer (GCF) to honour his commitment to this industry goal.

Jared is recognised for his support of industry associations, guilds & education, and freely dedicates his time a committee member on the board for PPFA Australia.

Jared has also authored the book "Getting the most value from your CMC" which is a popular reference guide for all CMC users.
