Jared Sichel

Jared Sichel is the VP of Communications for Prager University and a journalist. He has written dozens of news stories, investigative reports, and feature pieces for the Jewish Journal of Los Angeles, the PA Independent, and Watchdog.org. Raised in North Potomac, MD, a sleepy suburb 30 minutes outside Washington D.C., Jared attended Tulane University in New Orleans, LA, and received in 2012 a masters degree in accounting and a bachelors degree in finance. In 2011, he interned for Dennis Prager's radio show in Glendale, CA, an experience that told him that media and journalism were a better fit than accounting. He lives in Los Angeles, CA with his baseball glove, football, fountain pens, and most importantly, cigars. If you say anything bad about the New York Yankees, New York Giants, Downton Abbey, or The Americans (both the FX show and the people), Jared will write mean things about you.
