Jared, originally from the US, embarked on his journey to fluency in Spanish as an adult. After residing in Latin America, he settled in Puerto Rico where he met his wife, Diana. Together, they authored 12 books showcasing the unique variations of Spanish across different countries (¡nos encanta!).

Their stories depicting real-world Spanish experiences have garnered widespread interest among Spanish teachers seeking classroom resources. This initiative has flourished, culminating in the creation of the Spanish Teachers Community and the World Language Teacher Summit, the largest free online conference for language educators.
