JSD Tells the Story

JSD's Staff Summer Outing

Dave Jenkins, President/CEO

It was a blast to bring together almost our entire team of staff (85+ from 7 offices) at PinSeekers in DeForest for our annual all-staff summer outing! The first half of our day was the “serious side” of the outing to evaluate year one of our strategic planning efforts and prepare for the next two years! BUT AFTER….we all let loose enjoying Toptracer golf suites, outdoor mini golf, mini bowling, as well as multi-sports simulators and an evening of appetizers, dinner, music, and drinks!

Hello Deck Enthusiasts!

By: John Trava, JSD Structural Engineer

‘Tis the season for grilling, swimming, and lounging outside with friends and family. What better place to do these activities than in our backyards and on our decks! Many families look to build and do maintenance before the 4th of July. Though JSD typically focuses on commercial projects, let us help you explore important considerations and safety tips for sturdy and stylish deck structures for your home!

Zeteo Community Benefit

JSD recently sponsored the Zeteo Community “Rebuilding Dreams Together” benefit, as more than 300 guests came together to raise nearly $500,000 to provide shelter and needed resources for women who have been sexually exploited. Our team is honored to work with the architect on long-term transitional housing as we prepared a master plan and visionary imagery for their site concept, as well as surveying, engineering, and landscape architecture services for the proposed development.
