Jared Lukes

I am the man crazy enough to marry the woman responsible for all this. I am an entrepreneur, philosopher, mentor, technology consultant and creative mentor by day, a father and curious mind by night. Coming up I have been a pizza cook, tile setter, office manager, programmer, business owner, inventor and 40 other things. I can tell you that the one thing I love the most, is people who really go the extra mile to try something new and better at the risk of failing. Bravo brave souls, keep on.

A stage-maker more than a performer, I love being able to showcase so much local talent and perhaps more importantly, local effort every year. I believe Sarah Edwards and her friends are the brave new ones, the trend setters for our new world.
