Jared is the Mid-Atlantic Sales Manager for ImpEx Beverages. Jared has been in the alcohol industry for nearly 20 years. After spending over a decade in retail stores, and a few years in wholesale, he decided ImpEx was the way to go. After starting in the Mid-Atlantic territory (including Delaware, Maryland, and DC) he quickly proved that his passion and hard work were going to be a successful combination. After a year his territory was expanded to include Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Ohio. This was the first time ImpEx was doing business in these states, and they have become key parts of Jared’s market. He continues to do countless classes and seminars all over the Mid Atlantic.
