He received his first hammer at 4 years old, not that he wanted one but, because he kept “barrowing” his father’s. Construction has been a part of his life and being raised as a six Generation Carpenter it came naturally. As a boy he visited his father and grandfather on their construction site, and he learned what was being built. High school and college summers were spent soaked in sweat, at the end of broom as his apprentice skills improved. After graduating from Fresno State with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication in 2008, he started running small Tenant Improvements for Loder Construction and excelled in keeping project completion dates and budget. JJ has worked in the field and the office and has the ability to take a conceptual project all the way to the ribbon cutting. Currently he works in the office as head of marketing and as an estimator. He resides in Carmichael with his wife Lindsay, daughter Addisyn, there dog Ayla and her cat (who wishes to not be named). They enjoy camping, ATV riding in the sand dunes, football, golf and traveling.
