Hi! I'm Jared Caraway.

I’m a father of two, a husband, a marketer, a web developer, a writer, a musician, a coder, a nature-lover (and, naturally, a vegan), an artist, a designer, and a maker—all driven by curiosity and grounded in purpose.

I’m building a life that blends creativity with compassion, logic with intuition, and art with utility. Whether I’m sketching ideas, planting seeds, writing lines of code, or helping my kids explore the world, I strive to leave things better than I found them. I’m here to create, connect, and contribute—one thoughtful project at a time.

Learn More About My Various Facets

I do many things. You may know me from my marketing, music, writing, art, social media, work, life, etc. Or maybe I gave you a friend card (it’s like a business card, only for friends). You can learn more about the things I do (or have done) below.

Marketing

My digital marketing expertise spans the agency, freelance, and in-house gamut. Each role made me look at search engine optimization through a different lens.

I currently offer my SEO skills on a freelance basis to select clients. Interested in working with me? Contact me today via the form below.

Music

I have been making music since I was a teenager. I started as a singer-songwriter, then formed Jared and The Jewelers, an alternative rock band. More recently, I’ve been producing music under the pseudonym Massive Castles. You can listen to what I’ve released so far below.

Writing

I once aspired to be a music journalist. Music is one of my passions! Much of my published writing is entertainment-centric. You can read my previous work below.

I started out writing for SMU’s student paper, The Daily Campus, in the mid-2000s.

I’ve written several pieces for Austere Magazine which are no longer live, but which can still be accessed via the Internet Archive.
