Jedd in real life

What keeps you busy outside of work?

Family. I come from a big Filipino family and there is always something to celebrate.

Favorite thing about where you live?

I was born in San Francisco, raised in Vallejo, and now live in Redwood City. I love the Bay Area for its diversity, good food, and of course our sports teams. Go Niners, Warriors, and Giants!

Any words you try to live by?
