After growing up in and around the business, Jared “officially” began working for Draper in 2009. Today, as part owner and President, he is helping lead the family business into its second generation. An active member of IUEC Local 4, International Union of Elevator Constructors, Jared has dedicated his career to gaining hands-on, in-depth experience in every aspect of a project’s life cycle—from surveying and estimating to design, fabrication, and installation. His main areas of focus are sales, strategic planning, and client relationships.

Jared graduated from Endicott College in 2008 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications. While at Endicott, he played all four years on the football team, was voted onto the leadership council each season, and was selected as team captain his senior year.

Jared’s unique combination of industry experience, technical knowledge, and understanding of specialty materials has led him to take an increasingly active role in the design of elevator interiors. His knowledge of manufacturing capabilities, material performance, elevator codes, and the day-to-day demands placed on elevators allows him to approach each design from both an architectural and practical perspective.

Through Draper’s design-build approach, Jared considers the needs and priorities of everyone who interacts with a project—from the architect and building owner to the maintenance team and the people who use the elevator every day. This broader perspective helps him develop interiors that balance aesthetic impact, functionality, durability, and budget.

By understanding where specialty materials and custom fabrication can make the greatest visual difference—and where more cost-effective solutions can achieve the same result—Jared helps clients allocate their budgets where they matter most. Material selections and design details are evaluated not only for how they will look when the project is completed, but also for how they will perform in that specific environment for years to come.

The result is a distinctive, architecturally driven elevator interior that delivers maximum design value without losing sight of constructability, durability, maintenance, or cost.

Some of Jared’s most notable design-build work can be seen at:

• 28 State Street — Boston, MA
• John Joseph Moakley Federal Courthouse — Judges Elevators
• Mt. Auburn Hospital — Wyman Elevators 9 & 10
• VIA Seaport Residences — Coming Soon
