Jared Aarons comes to FOX News At Nine by the way of Butte, Montana., where he cut his teeth for nearly two years, first working as a sports reporter, and then as a news anchor for KXLF.

Jared grew up in Phoenix, Arizona, and found his passion for sports at an early age, going to all types of sporting events at Arizona State University, and elsewhere around the Valley of the Sun. And while he knew early on that he had an insatiable love for sports, Jared also knew he was better at talking about sports then he was at playing them. So he embarked on a career in broadcasting.

Jared began as a sports reporter at ASU in 1998, working for KASC radio, and for Sun Devil TV’s award winning sports program, “Devils on the Deuce.” During college Jared also held internships with KNBC in Los Angeles, KTVK in Phoenix, and with the Arizona Diamondbacks during their World Series Championship season.

Now in Iowa, Jared can’t wait to bring his love for sports, and his talent for storytelling to FOX News at Nine. As he puts it, “Sports are about more than just scores and highlights. You have to find the story behind each game, fan, and player. That’s what makes it fun.”

In his spare time, Jared enjoys golf, baseball, movies, and spending time with his dog, Vashti.
