Jared has been in the blasting industry since 1989. Prior to this date, he worked for his fathers explosive demolition company during summers, holidays and weekends for several years. He is a graduate of John Brown University with a degree in Business Management and Construction Management.

His experience in the use of explosives include: precision controlled rock blasting, trenching, tunneling, quarry blasting, building implosion, smokestacks, bridges, industrial structures,  and various other applications.

 Jared began full time employment at Dykon upon his graduation from college.  He single handedly managed all the rock drilling and blasting operations for Dykon at that time, as well as his duties for the demolition activities that Dykon was most recognized for. 

Jared opened Dykon Blasting Corp in 1996, a separate corporation, to better service Dykon's growing rock drilling and blasting business.  In 2002 Jared left the explosive demolition company to fully devote his time to the rock blasting company.  Dykon Blasting Corp. has grown to service 4 states, and to date, now provides controlled blasting in utility construction, site work, road excavations, and quarries for the entire central region of the United States.

A complete list of all rock drilling and blasting projects can be seen in the Work History section of our web site.

He is Oklahoma Miner Training Institute trained and certified and holds numerous state and Canadian Blasting Licenses. He is a member of the International Society of Explosive Engineers and National Association of Demolition Contractors.  Jared currently sits on the board of directors of the Ozark Chapter of The Society of Explosive Engineers.
