Meet the Business Owner: Jack B.
Jack K. Byrd III was born and raised in Middle Tennessee. He graduated from Wilson Central High School in Lebanon, TN. For his undergraduate education, he attended Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in Public Policy. He then pursued graduate studies at Cumberland University, obtaining a Master of Science in Public Service Management.
In 2014, Byrd joined the United States Marshals Service as a District Task Force Officer, a position he held until July 2015, when he left the DCSO and full-time law enforcement. It was during this period that the planning and design phase for Solaren began. As CEO, Byrd has focused on sustainable growth and expansion, all while maintaining a core philosophy of “people over profit” in delivering services to clients. As of 2025, Solaren operates permanent operations in five U.S. states, employs a combined force of over 1,200 personnel, and is a recognized U.S. Defense Contractor.
