Hi, I'm Jarrod.

I run a lot of miles, build small tools that make my life run itself, and write about what I learn along the way.

Life Resume

The stuff a normal resume leaves out.

Endurance

  • Ran 3,000+ miles in the last twelve months
  • Laced up on 334 of the last 366 days
  • 16 marathons โ€” Berlin, Chicago, and New York City among them โ€” plus a 50K ultra
  • Chasing a run in all 50 states โ€” 20 down (map below)

Things I've built

  • A personal AI assistant that lives in iMessage โ€” I text myself, it texts back
  • This site โ€” the running chart below updates itself from my watch

Work

  • Senior Developer, The J.M. Smucker Co. โ€” Finance Technology team, focused on AI strategy and deployment
  • Before that, Product Management Analyst at Westfield and Farmers Insurance
  • Started at Tesla, part-time while in school โ€” it opened my eyes to what technology makes possible in an agile business, and to inspirational leaders who move fast and break things

Side hustles

  • Run coaching โ€” I write training programming for runners chasing their next PR
  • AI tutoring โ€” I teach students and local businesses how to actually use AI

Education

  • Kent State University โ€” B.B.A., Finance
  • The Ohio State University โ€” MBA
  • Self-taught AI developer โ€” the best classroom is shipping things

Places & adventures

  • Martha's Vineyard, June 2026 โ€” our baby-moon
  • Sedona, December 2025 โ€” ran The Marathon Project (a 3:08 marathon PR), then spent the week hiking red rock trails
  • Countries so far: United States, Mexico, Canada, Italy, Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary โ€” mapped below
