As founder and president of Momentum Builders SF, Jamie combines over 26 years of experience with a lifelong passion for building.
Jamie started his career in construction right out of high school. Having graduated, he joined a custom homebuilder as an apprentice framer and began to learn the tools of the trade. Jamie's ability to multi-task without compromising the quality of work, and his unique combination of administrative and technical skills saw him rise through the ranks and eventually hold position as senior project manager in just a few years.
Jamie's career spans both non-profit and corporate sectors. He was involved with Habitat for Humanity in the bay area, built more than 300 homes and led high-profile projects such as the City Walk Project and Thomas Berkeley Square in Oakland.
Jamie's corporate experience includes successful partnerships with several reputable commercial and residential contractors in Northern California. He founded Momentum Builders SF in 2004, in response to a growing yet unmet demand for construction professionals that prioritize service over profits. Jamie has been responsible for the vision and growth of the company since its inception and continues to be responsible for the oversight of business development and construction operations.
