Jakes comes from a family of custom builders so it was inevitable that he would eventually work in the industry as well.  After graduating from Texas State University, Jake went to work for his father to learn the family business.  After working as a Project Manager for two years he started his own custom home building company while continuing to work as a Project Manager.  After things started to slow down during the 2008 recession Jake decided to try his hand in the wholesale distribution industry.  What was meant to be temporary until things picked back up turned into an 11 ½ year career as an Operations Manager and Branch Manager for multiple distribution hubs where he really learned to hone his management and customer service skills.  With that skill set, it was time to get back into the construction industry where he was looking for a company that aligned with his values of honesty, integrity, quality, and superior customer service.  After speaking with multiple Alair team members it was a mutual decision that this was the right fit.  In his spare time, Jake enjoys working in his garden, cooking, live music, and spending quality time with his friends and family.

 
With over 35 years in the residential remodeling business, Mark is a skilled and conscientious project manager with extensive hands-on experience in carpentry, tile setting, sheet-rocking, and painting.

Son of a civil engineer/developer, his family moved from Australia to Richmond, VA, and then onto New York. It was there, in Westchester County, where he observed firsthand, truly magnificent homes, which piqued his interest in residential construction and design, which is when he decided to attend The Parsons School of Design. Later, he moved to Dallas flipping houses on lower Greenville and Munger Place historic district long before it was popular on HGTV. He has owned his own general contracting and tile installation companies throughout the Midwest and then moved back to Dallas, where he added installing residential elevators to his toolbox, where he quickly became the "go-to" contractor for a national elevator company. After 35 years of extensive hands-on remodeling, he decided to focus on project management.
