Jared Clark, PTA

Hi! My name is Jared and I’ve been a PTA since 2020. When I’m not working with patients, I love to be active. I’ve been doing martial arts since I was a child and is something I still practice to this day including boxing, taekwondo, and Muay Thai to name a few. I moved from Pennsylvania in 2023 with my wife and had a son since being here in Atlanta who, along with my two dogs, takes up the remainder my time.
