Jared Quan

Born and raised as a 49ers fan in Phoenix, Arizona. I started my writing career in the 4th grade, taking opportunities like being involved in the high schools year book, and being the editor and chief of the school newspaper. In 2009, I was given the opportunity to publish my first book 'Ezekiels Gun'. Now married with children living in Salt Lake City, UT. I have been given the golden opportunity to combine my two favorite topics by writing for the fan site Niner Noise.
