Born and raised in Austin, Jarod has been collecting rocks since he can remember. He first visited Nature's Treasures at the age of 3 and habitually returned throughout his life, eventually joining the team in May of 2024. You'll find him in both the Rock Depot and the Retail Showroom, always happy to answer any questions about minerals and geology. In his free time, Jarod balances his rock collecting with travel, music, Magic: the Gathering, and spending time with his pets.
