Jared Dairy spent much of his childhood in the suburbs of Portland, Oregon, where the surroundings played a steady role in shaping who he became. Fishing trips, drives through small towns, and everyday life in the Pacific Northwest helped him develop patience and awareness. These early experiences taught him to observe and think long term, traits that later influenced how he approached work, investing, and problem-solving.
His interest in business began early, driven by curiosity about how people make long-term financial decisions and how markets respond to events. This interest led him to pursue a business education, and he graduated with a degree in business in 2004. The experience helped establish discipline and consistency while giving him clarity about the direction he wanted to take.
Jared's career began in 2003 at a financial services firm, where he advised families and business owners. Over time, he became a dependable presence for clients focused on long-term planning. His work included managing more than 2,000 client relationships, overseeing over $500 million in life insurance death benefits, and guiding roughly $50 million in assets. His efforts earned multiple industry recognitions for quality, leadership, and client impact.
In 2023, he founded a company that designs and manufactures a proprietary commercial-grade fire ring intended to reduce wildfires. The product, currently under a pending patent, was developed through hands-on research, testing, and collaboration. The project reflects a practical effort to address real community and safety challenges.
After building a long career in advisory, Dairy shifted to independent investing in stocks, crypto, and real estate. He views investing as an active process, spending significant time studying charts, data, and market sentiment before making decisions. This disciplined approach allows him to test ideas while remaining clear and confident in managing his assets.
Strategy and competition have always interested him, leading him to play poker for many years, with results published in major tournament databases. He applies a similar analytical mindset to sports, following performance, probability, and trends. Travel has also been a significant part of his life, with experiences across the United States, Canada, Mexico, Belize, Honduras, Costa Rica, Turkey, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, France, England, and Ireland, each offering a broader perspective.
He remains involved in his community through support of youth programs, athletics, and local initiatives. Outside of investing, he enjoys fishing, spending time outdoors, travelling, watching sports, and working on hands-on home projects.
