Born
and raised by his parents, David and Carol, in Dallas,
Texas, Jed Hildebrand grew up riding horses and taking
family trips to go surfing and snowboarding. He attended
Plano Senior High School, where he played football and
soccer, lettering and winning state championships in
both sports his senior year. Jed then went on to Baylor
University in Waco, Texas, where he received a Bachelor
of Science degree in Biology. While there, he played
college soccer with both of his brothers and was a member
of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon Fraternity. During his summer
breaks, Jed spent time in Maui, Hawaii, working as a
surf instructor, waiter and adventure sports consultant.
He spent the summer of his junior year in college studying
geriatric physiology and socialized medicine while traveling
through Europe.
Jed
is beginning his senior year as a dental student at
Baylor College of Dentistry, carrying on the tradition
of his father and two brothers, Brody and Sloan, all
of whom are dentists. He has participated in Christian
dental missionary work at remote villages and refugee
camps in Cambodia and Thailand. Last winter, he provided
care to villages and tribes in India while traveling
on camelback with his brother, Sloan. He currently works
part-time as a dental lab technician while attending
classes. An avid sportsman, he enjoys wakeboarding,
dirt bike riding, scuba diving, kayaking and sand volleyball.
He can think of nothing better to do on a chilly winter
day than to carve through the back powder bowls of the
Rocky Mountains in search of cliffs to soar off. He
credits his deepened sense of adventure to his time
spent as a youth at the Christian summer sports camp,
Kanakuk Kamp. Jed currently lives in Dallas, Texas.
In addition to his two brothers, he also has one sister,
Katherine. He is a member of the Prestonwood Baptist
Church. His birth date is December 5, 1976. |
