Ahoy! My name is Jared (J-Rod) Otto. I am the he head of J-Rod SAVES Bricks and a LEGO® fanatic! Starting my obsession at age 5, I've accumulated quite a collection. My passion has sent me in many directions over the years. First, I spent seven years as a brickfilmer on YouTube. Then, I created a custom building kits business, where I designed and sold scale models of WW2 vehicles. For the past two years, I managed a LEGO® resale store where I gained a reputation for being knowledgeable and eager to help! When not building MOCs, I am pursuing many other passions, such as photography, novel writing, film directing, and board game designing.
While working at the LEGO® Resale Store, Jared was frequently asked by customers if there was a service to help fix their collections. Jared got tired of not having an answer for them, and began thinking of a way to help. After leaving the store, he decided to create a service to help people save their LEGO® Collections. The first collection to save was...his own! Jared has a large collection himself, and many sets had become broken, yellowed, and dirty. Every single technique used by J-Rod SAVES Bricks was first used to save Jared's personal collection, and we would never use something on your collection that Jared didn't test on his first!
