Jared Smith

Director of Marketing & E-Commerce

I was born and raised in Richmond, Rhode Island, a rural quiet town where I have lived my entire life. I attended Bishop Hendricken High School in Warwick, RI, and went on to graduate from the University of Rhode Island in 2006. My last year of college was my first introduction to the car business as a marketing intern for Tarbox Toyota, Tarbox Hyundai, and Tarbox Big Lot. After the internship, I was hired by Tarbox and began to take on many new roles that had never existed at the dealership, including vehicle photography, website management, and internet sales management. Throughout my professional career, the car business has changed, leading to more opportunities for my skill set to grow and accommodate the needs of a dealership. In October of 2021 DCD Automotive Holdings acquired Tarbox Toyota and Tarbox Hyundai and I was introduced to the DCD team. 

I have been married for 12 years to my wife, Emily. We have two young boys who I spend all of my free time with, coaching baseball, basketball, and soccer. When I am not on the run with my kids, I like to spend time around my home fixing and remodeling as much as I can, using the knowledge I gained working in construction while I was attending college. I like to follow all Boston-related sports; Patriots, Red Sox, Celtics, and Bruins. I am most passionate about helping people, being friendly and kind to others, and making people laugh. The automotive business is a place where I feel the freedom to express these passions to make a positive difference in people's lives.
