As JA’s Design Technology Manager, Jesse helps ensure our Building Information Models (BIM) are complete, consistent, and cohesive. It turns out he’s been preparing for this role his whole life: Jesse started hand drafting and learned AutoCAD in middle school and worked for a structural engineer, writing scripts to automate CAD drafting while still in high school! Naturally, he went on to earn a BS and Masters in Architecture from Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston.

In his design work, Jesse likes a good challenge, discovering elegant, creative solutions and, whenever possible, helping create crafted residential projects. Jesse grew up on a lake in the woods in Upstate New York, so the Pacific Northwest forests feel like home. He still enjoys spending time by the water, camping, listening to live music, craft beer, and exploring cities. He also enjoys spending time with his cat, Mr. Zucchini (or Zucci, Ziggy Star Cat, ZZ Cat, etc.)
