Jared Henderson

Jared Henderson is a homeschool dad, former pastor, and long-time software developer who is passionate about helping ordinary parents protect their kids fromĀ the very serious dangers of the internet. His own struggle to find a high-quality, strict internet filter and supervision app for his homeschool kids led him to create his own app, calledĀ Gertrude, which spread quickly to a number of like-minded families in his church, and then beyond. Actively involved in helping parents with internet safety since 2021, Jared has come face to face with just how difficult and overwhelming this subject is for the average mom and dad. He deeply believes that there are a wide variety of simple and effective techniques that even non-techy parents can employ to keep their kids safe, and is passionate about communicating the seriousness of the subject to parents. Jared lives in Wadsworth Ohio with his wife Rachel, their four kids (10-17), and his dog Steve.
