Jared Gardner – Summerville, SC

I grew up in Central NY (Watkins Glen/Ithaca area) and always had a passion for art and designing/building. I am a mechanical engineer by trade, which led me to the Charleston area where I currently reside. Art has always been something fun that I use to express my interest as a “gear head”, pet lover, and most recently, a hockey fan. My official MS diagnosis came in 2024, and I am in the early phases of the frustrations, physical/cognitive challenges, and learning how to navigate through the days. Art has been instrumental in helping bring a bright spot into the darkness that so many of us face.
