Hi, I’m Jared — the founder of Pure Vision Entertainment.Music and events have been a huge part of my life for more than two decades. I grew up playing the tenor saxophone for over nine years, and that connection to music eventually led me into DJ’ing while I was in college. During that time I was also playing collegiate football at Lewis & Clark College, where I later graduated with a double Bachelor’s degree in Business Economics and Communication.
In 2009, I became the resident DJ at what was once the largest country bar in the Northwest, Duke’s Country Bar & Grill, and eventually stepped into the role of General Manager. That experience helped shape my career not only as a DJ, but also as a leader in the entertainment and hospitality industry. During that time I had the opportunity to work alongside and open for more than 70 Nashville country artists, including Jason Aldean, Luke Combs, Montgomery Gentry, Thomas Rhett, and Taylor Swift to name a few.
Since then, my career has expanded into many areas of entertainment. I’ve performed at festivals, large-scale events, bars, clubs, corporate events, and weddings across Oregon, Washington, California, and around the nation, DJing in more than 13 states. Today I also serve as the DJ for the St. Paul Rodeo, AMA Pro Motocross Nationals, and Thursday Night Motocross at Portland International Raceway, while also performing at Red Bull events throughout the summer.Weddings remain my favorite events because they bring people together, create lifelong memories, and allow me to celebrate couple’s story.
What couples often tell me they appreciate most is the energy, professionalism, and guidance I bring to their wedding day. I truly care about the small details that make a celebration feel meaningful — how your parents and family feel throughout the night, how your guests experience the celebration, and making sure the two of you feel completely present while everything unfolds around you. For me, this has never just been about playing music. It’s about helping create an experience that feels personal, intentional, and unforgettable.
When I’m not behind the DJ booth, you’ll usually find me working out in the gym, riding motocross, playing golf, or traveling with my wife and our son. One of the things I love most right now is being able to show him parts of the world that I never had the opportunity to explore growing up.
There are two moments during a wedding that I love the most. The first is the father-daughter dance, which is often one of the most emotional and meaningful moments of the entire day. The second is that moment later in the night when I know the entire room is connected — when the guests trust me to take them on a musical journey and I can feel the energy of the dance floor completely come alive.

An unforgettable experience — Jared is the DJ you want for your wedding!
From the very beginning, Jared stood out for how diligent, thoughtful, and intentional he is in his process. He spent so much time getting to know us as a couple — from long planning meetings where he walked us through every detail, to his interactive app that helped organize our entire wedding timeline, to the “get to know the couple” questionnaire that made everything feel so personal. You can tell he genuinely cares about creating an experience that reflects who you are.
Jared brought our dream reception to life and we had an absolute BLAST! We truly never left the dance floor, it was banger after banger. It was the perfect mix of the classics, 90s throwbacks and what we liked to call it, "college party vibes". The mood and vibes never died. We were pretty much dragged off the dance floor! He is and was incredibly genuine and isn't like any other DJ -- He creates an unique and electrifying environment and caters to your every need/want. We were so thankful that he also helped coordinate the entire night. We felt so taken care of and never had to worry about what was coming next, Jared was on it! We didn't just leave our reception with a night to always remember but left with a new friend. Book Jared! You won't regret it. :)
Jared was a true delight to work with and the best DJ we could’ve ever asked for. He is not only a skilled and talented DJ, but also an incredible human being. When our coordinator bailed day-of, he helped my mom make all of the last minute decisions and even helped with our set up! His meetings ahead of time were fun and made us feel more excited for the wedding. His music choices fit our intergenerational 70 person crowd perfectly and I know he can DJ a rager as well. You cannot go wrong with hiring Jared!
We used Jared as our DJ for our wedding in August, and let me tell you. He is absolutely INCREDIBLE. He truly made the day go as smooth as possible and we are so grateful for him. We had a couple meetings leading up to the wedding and the week of the wedding we spent over an hour finalizing songs, timelines, etc. Talk about a dedicated and amazing person! He truly puts his heart and soul making it perfect for every couple. We still have people tell us how amazing our DJ was! If you’re considering Pure Vision Entertainment and Jared as your DJ, look no further! Thank you for everything, Jared!!!!
