Still finding new ways to get it done faster.
Jacob has lived job order contracting (JOC) from every angle: as the owner, the contractor and the consultant. That trifecta gives him a perspective that's hard to replicate and even harder to rattle. He understands what every seat at the table actually needs, and he brings that understanding to every client relationship.
- Jacob leads the quality and performance of Simplebid® software while serving as a mentor and educator to the team around him.
- He's the kind of person who genuinely enjoys helping others get better at their work.
- He also keeps a close eye on where the construction industry and its technology are headed, so clients are always working with solutions built for tomorrow, not just today.
- Public agencies like the California Department of General Services, the Pennsylvania Department of General Services and the University of Kentucky have trusted Jacob’s expertise to help them move faster without sacrificing accountability.
- His track record reflects a number of firsts: He helped win California's first ever state JOC contract, built the first statewide CSU JOC program to reach all 23 campuses, and launched the first non-military JOC program in Hawaii.
- He brings that same pioneering energy to his speaking engagements, having presented at NIGP and CAPPO on topics like doing more with less and understanding why contractors choose not to bid.
- When Jacob isn't helping shape the future of public procurement, you'll find him surfing, snowboarding or standing in a river with a fly rod. The common thread: Jacob's always chasing the next challenge.
