MEET OUR TEAM

Jamie is one of the three founding owners of TMJ Construction Services, which was established in 2002. Over the past 20 years, Jamie has worn many hats in order to make the company succeed, until he found his strengths. Creating new relationships is where he really excels and enjoys meeting with new people daily to help them with their exterior remodeling projects. Born and raised in Ames, Jamie goes to great lengths to make sure all of his clients get what they desire from a construction point of view, to assure their satisfaction. In Jamie’s free time, he will often be found on the sidelines or in the dugouts of his kids’ youth sports. Coaching and the positive impact it has on the youth is something he truly loves.

Chris joined the TMJ Construction team in 2003 after graduating from Iowa State with a degree in Ag Systems and Technology. Growing up in Ames, it was an easy decision for him to stick around and join his high school friends in growing the TMJ business. Chris has had hands-on experience in almost every facet of exterior construction installation. In addition to the day to day chores of operating the business, Chris manages the siding and window divisions at TMJ. He takes great pride in making sure his crews exceed the homeowner’s expectations. In his spare time he enjoys relaxing with the family and spending time in a tree stand when time allows.

Jim is one of the three founding owners of TMJ Construction Services. After graduating high school from Ames he continued his education at Ellsworth Community College where he acquired a degree in Construction Management. Jim spends most of his time with our roofing teams to ensure each project runs smoothly and efficiently. Jim has been in the roofing industry for 25 years and there is no roofing problem Jim can’t solve. In his spare time, you will often find him watching his kids participate in youth sports.

Curt joined our team at TMJ Construction Services in 2014 after several years of designing and installing residential landscapes in and around the Ames area. Born and raised in Ames, Curt takes great pride in making sure our customers get what they want when it comes to our roofing and gutter projects. Once you’ve met our sales team, your project is handed over to Curt to make sure things go off without a hitch, from scheduling, ordering of materials, and continued communication throughout the project. In his free time, Curt enjoys all things sports related, whether watching them or actually playing whenever possible. When the seasons permit, you can find him out hunting or fishing as time allows.

Jason has been with TMJ Construction Services since 2016 and has worked in the construction industry for over 20 years. Jason started out framing houses, worked in construction distribution for over 10 years, and finally found his niche in sales and working with homeowners. Originally from the Cedars Falls area, Jason moved to Ames in 2000 (best move ever) where he met his wife and started a family. Jason enjoys meeting with clients, listening to their needs, and helping them with options for exterior home improvement projects. In his spare time, Jason enjoys hitting the little white ball on the golf course, watching his kids in their sports activities, and traveling.

Travis started working with TMJ in the summer of 2016 and didn’t know the difference between a shingle and a piece of siding. From the Mason City area, he moved to Ames in 2012 and has nestled himself into the area. Now, having years of experience completing repairs and chasing leaks, he has learned a lot and is eager to constantly expand his knowledge and resolve issues for our customers. Travis currently leads our small repairs team with TMJ that is compiled of some of our most experienced employees. Outside of work, you will find Travis spending time with his wife, family and friends or trying to figure out how to shave an extra stroke off of his golf game. He has yet to succeed in the golfing task.

Mike has been working for TMJ Construction Services since 2020. He’s pretty much the coolest thing since polymer modified asphalt. He enjoys TMJ and works hard to personify the spirit in which the company has built upon for 20 years. Attention to detail and servant leadership are what he values in working with customers. Your project goals are his project goals, from start to finish. Beyond work you will find Mike with his beautiful wife and 3 kids enjoying the outdoors and attending local events.

Chad started with TMJ in April of 2017 as a siding Project Manager. He managed a siding crew for 10 years prior to working at John Deere and now TMJ. Chad makes sure all of his siding crews know their mission and have the materials they need to complete the job. He also handles questions and concerns any homeowner or contractor may have. He takes great pride in making sure things run smoothly, from start to finish. His hobbies/interests are following his daughter in gymnastics, volleyball, and teaching her how to golf. He also enjoys fishing (with my daughter or friends), hunting, golfing, and slow pitch softball when I have time.

Makenzie has served as the Office Manager since 2018. From scheduling appointments to Human Resources, she does it all. Her professionalism, organization, and welcoming demeanor are crucial to TMJ’s success. In her free time she enjoys spending time with her husband and two kids, being outside, and cheering on her favorite sports teams in the Iowa State Cyclones and Green Bay Packers!

Originally from Northwest Iowa, Jason began his career right out of college in 2002. For 12 years, he refined his skills as a residential siding subcontractor, working on both new and remodel projects.  Following this, he spent six years with James Hardie Building Products, gaining invaluable experience.  Since joining the TMJ team in 2001, Jason has brought his wealth of experience and leadership, delivering excellence in every project. Outside of work, he’s an avid golfer and traveler, but his greatest joy comes from cheering on his three kids as they compete in various sporting events.
