Jack started as an apprentice carpenter and because of his
mechanical reasoning and natural leadership abilities he quickly worked
his way to the top of his trade. His career included the construction of
11 dams starting with the McNary Dam and ending with the Guri Dam.
He ran large crews and accepted projects as far north as Canada and
as far south as Venezuela. He became known for his knack of
conveying complicated construction through simple instructions. After
33 years he retired as a general superintendent at Guy F. Atkinson
Company. Jack passed away in 1992 and left behind a foundation in
the construction industry that future generations would build upon.
After majoring in Physics in Spokane, WA, Jerry joined his father's crew
at the Lower Monumental Dam and continued to work with him on his
rigging crew at the Hanford Nuclear Reactor in Washington State. He
moved to San Jose, CA in the early 1980s where he worked on projects
throughout the Bay Area including the remodel of Valley Fair Mall and the
construction of the Santa Clara County Jail before starting his own
general contracting firm in 1986 under license# 500054.
