Jared Chandler Biography

Jared Chandler was raised in the military, the son of a respected US Army veteran of WW2, Korea and the Vietnam War. He’s also the grandson of a French Sergeant Major (Sergeant’ Adjuntant) who lost both of his brother’s at Verdun, lead the Resistance on Corsica against the Axis occupation in WW2 and went on to fight the Viet-Minh in what was then called French Indo-China. On his mother’s side of the family, Jared can trace his Corsican lineage to Napoleon.  His foray into the family business has been an interesting journey.

Chandler served 8 years in the US Army Reserve and was Honorably Discharged on 15 Aug 02, promotable to Staff Sergeant.  He has had the honor to train and deploy along side America’s Special Operation Forces and Conventional Units. As a Contractor / Trainer he has developed curriculum for several Federal and local law enforcement agencies. He has become a much sought after Military Advisor and contributor to the Film and Television industry. He has trained some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, but his greatest professional satisfaction has come from being “The No-Bullshit Meter” on projects such as NBC’s  recent series E RING, the acclaimed feature films The Peacemaker, The General’s Daughter , Clear and Present Danger  and Sony’s upcoming film NEXT , starring Oscar winners Nicolas Cage and Julianne Moore.

Somewhere between the Operational Rally Point and the Objective, Chandler realized Hollywood would be a better place with more Veterans contributing to productions. He has personally hired and placed hundreds of veterans on productions and into the Screen Actors Guild.
