Hi my name is Jared Bueng, I am a faithful believer in Jesus Christ, devoted husband of 13years to my wife Rachel, and loving father to my 3 children; Gunnar 7, Tyler 4, Kenlie 3.   I grew up in the central Virginia region hiking and camping in these mountains.  They are in my blood.  I left Virginia at 19 to go to college and begin my career in live event productions and have been doing that for 20 years, operating my own company and business for the last 12.   2 years ago we decided to move back to the area to raise our children and get involved with the community.  I became aware of Beauty for Ashes about a year ago when I became the Elder of Missions at Lake of the Woods Church and immediately felt God calling us to continue assisting the Zellos in their mission.  To combine my love of the mountains, ultra marathon trail running, and BFAs mission into a fundraiser is an incredible opportunity I’m thrilled to be a part of.
