Hello everyone, and welcome to my personal blog. I want to take some time to introduce, well me, and tell you a little about myself.
My name is Jared Lawandales and I love nature, people, and music. I grew up in Brevard County and spent most of my teenage years in Tampa, Florida. My first job was at the local Taco Bell and after a short time in the fast food industry I was promoted to a management position. After several years of Corporate Yum Brand management and operations training and deciding to leave my position as General Manager at Taco Bell, I tried the world of retail for a while. Taking a position as Assistant Manager for Pinch A Penny Pools, I spent the next two years as the public “face” of our store to the employees as well as the clients. This is where I found my calling. I enjoy meeting new people and the daily insight that comes from interaction with a diversity of people. After a long discussion with my friend and now current business partner, Steven Milanese, we decided to go into business for ourselves and opened Down By The River, llc. I currently hold the title of Vice President of Operations and Marketing and get to continue what I love everyday. Through the use of this blog I hope to not only inform people, but also post relevant information relating to the industry in which I love, work and study. Our personal blogs here at Down By The River, llc are intended to be a tool for our clients to research our growing knowledge base, as well as get to know each of us a little better. We hope that all of you can gain a better understanding of who we are why we love what we do.
As a current student at Full Sail University studying to earn an Internet Marketing Bachelor of Science Degree, I want to share some of my course work in order to stimulate intellectual conversation about the topics relating to my studies and our industry. I believe the best way to understand a topic is through open research and discussion. Within this site you will find a category for my school work, organized by topic or class, that I will use to share the most relevant points I perceive from my course work. I would like to invite everyone to join in the conversation with me in an effort to provide a basis for Transcending Planes of Intellectual Existence Through Knowledge and Understanding. I will also, from time to time, include some of my personal thoughts or current events that I feel are pertinent to life. I look forward to the opportunity to be more interactive with our clients, in addition to having beneficial conversation with anyone who is willing!
