He enjoys solving complex issues through brainstorming and thinking outside the box along with collaboration of the team as well as developing strong relationships with trade partners. He emphasizes the importance of making each project a safe project that people want to come to work every day. His favorite part of the project is project turnover, especially when the end users first tour the finished building and their excitement about their newly built out space.
Throughout his career, two memorable projects have been very gratifying. First was building out the space for the first functioning five-ring C.T. scanner installed in the U.S., located at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. Second, building out the underground infrastructure and structural gantries for some of the first ever electric bus chargers in the U.S., for King County Metro.

Matt is a detail-oriented person who brings over twelve years of project management experience since joining JTM in 2013. Matt is a nature problem solver, who enjoys providing economic, efficient, and strategic solutions to projects. He loves the teamwork and collaboration aspect when dealing with large team dynamics. While he takes pride in the entire project lifecycle, he raves about the challenging, fast paced nature when a building is under active construction.
Matt has contributed to several of Seattle’s iconic projects, such as the F5 Tower and the historic Palihotel Seattle, that developed his passion for construction. At JTM, Matt’s favorite project to date was Summit 3 Office Tower. This project was special to Matt because tying a steel building into an existing PT concrete garage was an opportunity to develop a plan, oversee the quality control, and observe the plan come to fruition when most people said it couldn’t be done.
FUN FACT | Matt won the “People’s Choice Award” in the Washington State High School Art Show his senior year, and the painting is still hanging at the Capital.
Matt’s downtime is spent with his family, golfing, and home improvement projects.

Carl’s experience touches on all building parts from exterior structure, building envelope, exterior, and interior framing from tenant improvements to ground-up. His responsibilities support framing, GWB, and external weather barrier systems and align well with his estimating, project management, and material procurement responsibilities. He enjoys collaboration with both clients and trade partners. He focuses on practical, effective, and timely communication—and a commitment to exceeding expectations ensures the project’s success.
A favorite part of a project lifecycle is right after the enclosure is completed to a point where the interior framing is able to begin. That is the first moment when the architect’s vision of how the people move through the building is going to be in real life comes through.
On Carl’s off time, he is working on projects around the house, enjoys golf, sporting, and cultural events, and traveling. A fun fact: Carl’s first job at 14, working the graveyard shift at his parent’s 7-Eleven store.
