Jack Callahan and Russ Yearick, 2006

Jaru Associates, Inc. was incorporated on April 28, 1994 by John "Jack" W. Callahan and Russell B. Yearick. Combining the "Ja" from Jack and the "Ru" from Russ to form the company name, Jaru started with one small copier and one large format OCE machine in Jack's basement. Jaru has grown into an enterprise with five full-time employees and a broad range of large format and document capabilities. In December, 2008 Jaru moved from Westerly Parkway into it's present location at 1300 S. Allen St.

Jack and Russ were friends—as hunting buddies, Boalsburg volunteer firefighters and co-workers for 18 years—prior to starting Jaru.
Jack passed away on April 20, 2006 and his
presence is missed daily.
