Originally from Buffalo, NY, Jess moved to Venice at a young age and has been a part of the west coast ever since. After receiving his Bachelors in Civil Engineering from the University of Florida, Jess worked in Tampa for several years as a project manager. Then, after having received his contractor’s license, he made the decision to start J2 Solutions, Inc.

Since founding the company in 2002, Jess has transitioned J2 Solutions, Inc. from a one-man start-up, to be a full-service, self-performing, design-build, construction management firm, servicing the entire state of Florida. J2 Solutions, Inc. has won numerous awards, including Business of the Year, Contractor of the Year and being inducted into the prestigious “BIG-50 Remodeling Contractors” from Remodeling Magazine.

Today Jess’ primary duties are split between Commercial business development and strategic planning for J2 Solutions, Inc. He enjoys spending time with his wife and three children; and when time allows, doing long-distance hikes in the mountains.
