After many years of teaching, I developed another passion: helping the community. Through my dance programs, I started helping women and children restore their lives and self-esteem. I now work with at risk children, abused women and broken families. My goal is to restore one child, one woman and one family at a time”. D e n i s e V i n e r For over two decades, Jarrod Smith has successfully represented buyers and sellers of real estate, including luxury homes, urban and high-rise condominium properties, and highly successful master- planned development communities. He specializes in neighborhoods throughout the Paradise Valley, Arcadia and Phoenix areas. While he is passionate about real estate, he is most passionate about his family and supporting causes close to his heart. Being a father of four incredible kids has been his life’s greatest reward. “Twin 15 year olds (Sydnie and Cole) is quite the experience and with watching their younger brother and sister (Liam and Scottlyn) follow in their footsteps is the ultimate gift”. In addition to the National Kidney Foundation, Jarrod is involved in local charitable organizations including Childhelp, where his wife Ryan was President of the Wings Division and he has been coaching and mentoring kids in both Little League baseball and softball for seven seasons. Jarrod graduated from Northern Arizona University’s W.A. Franke College of Business in International Finance.
