There is nothing Jared Cardenas loves more than entertaining. He calls Bergenfield, NJ his home and has been playing various brass instruments since he was 8 years old. He's performed at Lincoln Center, sung in a quartet for Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Famer Bob Gaudio, played with members of Blood, Sweat, and Tears, and was Drum Major of the internationally-renowned Bergenfield High School Marching Band. A Filmmaking student at Montclair State University, he has worked on a number of award-winning films in roles ranging from actor to director. His favorite food is a good burger with fries. In his spare time, he writes stories and is an avid fan of DC Comics. More than anything, he hopes you enjoy the show!
