Meet Jeff

Partner

Born and raised on an Iowa farm, the oldest of six children, Jeff graduated from Iowa State University in 1973 with a B.S. in Industrial Engineering. He worked 15 years with Trane Company and an additional 15 years with York International in various engineering, procurement, production, and general management positions. Meanwhile, he made his way south with his wife, Patricia, to Tennessee and Virginia, eventually ending up in North Carolina where he has now lived for over 20 years. 

He co-founded Jemsite in 2000 with Eddie and Mark and they have since developed 50 Lowe’s Home Improvement Centers, various shopping center and single-tenant projects, and have become a multi-national grocer’s preferred developer. 

In his free time, Jeff loves spending time with his wife, four children, five grandchildren, and out on the links as an “avidly-fair” golfer.
