Today we’d like to introduce you to Jared Hale.

Jared, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I began making costumes as a child. I would dress up as my favorite character at the time and just have fun. As I grew older I began to draw more than to make costumes. It wasn’t until 2014 that I started making costumes again. I started with Eva Foam and still use it to this day although my skills have greatly improved since then.

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has been a relatively smooth road for me to increase my skillset. God has graced me with such wonderful gifts and I try to pass on what I learn to others.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I specialize in working with EVA foam. I feel like I am known for making foam not look like foam. I am most proud of how I have learned to make foam look like metal. I have had many people handle my props and expect them to be much heavier because they thought it was metal

What does success mean to you?
I define success as moving forward. If you have to fail to learn to correct something then you can move forward. So there is success even in failure.
