Jed was born in Washington but grew up in Ava, Missouri, where many of his favorite childhood memories were made walking and running down dirt roads, exploring the woods with his family, and spending countless hours outside with his siblings. Growing up near a small town, surrounded by nature and encouraged by his parents, helped shape his love for the outdoors. In his free time, Jed enjoys hiking, going on walks, riding dirt bikes, and taking time to think by a local river. He is currently involved in Missouri politics through grassroots engagement while also working as a freelance photographer and videographer.
Although Jed does not know exactly what the Lord has next for him, he is excited to see where He leads and is striving to use the time and opportunities God has given him to serve faithfully. Jed first got involved with TeenPact after his mom took his brother to a Four Day Class and brought Jed along to the One Day Class. Since then, the Lord has used TeenPact to refine and shape him in significant ways. Jed was saved at a State Class, and TeenPact has continued to play a major role in his spiritual growth, teaching him more about walking faithfully with the Lord and the beauty of true surrender. This season, Jed is especially excited to serve alongside his brothers and sisters in Christ, witness how God is working in the lives of others, and help inspire students to grow deeper in their relationship with Him while engaging the culture for His glory.
