Read on to learn more about Jarrett:
What are your hobbies and interests?
Most of my hobbies include outdoor activities such as golfing, live events (concerts or sporting events), and grilling.
What advice would you give someone just starting their career in your field?
My advice to someone joining the accounting industry is to be excited to learn new things, especially within your first year. You learn a lot in the first year, much more than you would in a classroom.
What’s your favorite way to start your day?
My favorite way to start my mornings is with my fiancée, Madison, and my dog, Deacon. Morning walks are always enjoyable with them.
What’s the best piece of career advice you have ever received?
My best career advice came from my mom, “Devote your time to a company who values you just as much as they value their customers/clients.” I believe that working for a company who values you greatly is what keeps people excited to come to work.
What’s your go-to way to unwind and recharge after a busy week?
After a busy day, I like to try new things on the Blackstone. My go-to recently has been chicken lo-mein.
