I was born in a small town in Central Minnesota to parents that taught me good work ethics, and how to treat people with respect. After graduating from High School and Technical College I worked at a marina for a couple years, which was a great experience that taught me how to work with all types of people in the service industry. From there I was hired into the 3M Company. My career with 3M spanned 33+ years of service. Over those years I had many varying types of responsibilities. I started out in production on the work floor and transitioned from there to areas involving creation of IT applications, order allocation, material inventory management in the US and Mexico. From there, by furthering my education, I advanced into the engineering department. My last set of responsibilities was as the Planner for an existing production line that made product from start to finish. This included material planning as well as production scheduling. During this period, I was also involved in creating a small business with a relative on my personal time. This business was related to hydraulic accessories, abrasion protection materials, as well as cold weather heating applications. I was involved in this business for 20+ years. My next move was to Loveland, Colorado to help begin JKI Industries,LLC. This is proving to be an excellent move for me. I look forward to working with all the new people I will be meeting and hope that my past experiences can be useful to those I meet.

I grew up at a heavy equipment company in Alexandria Minnesota that my best friend’s dad owned, and got my start in the construction business at an early age of 11. Over the years I worked my way up the crane industry and have seen many issues in the construction business and the ice issue on the Tower Crane is something that stands out the most because it’s a problem I have had personally more then to many times to count. I felt from a safety stand point there has to be a better way to de-ice these cranes and get up in running to keep the job running efficiently with minimal down time. I feel we have come up with a great solution to take care of this issue and hope you think so also.

HOTRAILS – A SOLUTION FROM THE FIELD

After decades of crane and rail installation and maintenance experience throughout Colorado and North America, Jared became tired of watching his crews lose downtime and endanger productivity during winter. Costly delays and time spent trying to de-ice cranes drove Jared to the drawing board and HotRails was born. Tested in subzero temperatures, HotRails became the winter construction equipment that innovates worksites and saves money and time while protecting your crew.
