Hello! My name is Jack. My wife and I have lived in the St. Croix valley for over 30 years, and raised 3 sons here. I enjoy family time, sailing, and travel. When I can do all 3 at the same time, its a bonus! I've been a teacher, a preacher, a painter, a scientist, a handyman, and a soldier. Being the mission pastor for a non-profit construction company allows me to use many skills from those past positions.
The Fortress Project is made up of men and women who are great at building, and passionate about helping people.
Our project managers are excited to walk clients through every step of their building process, enabling homeowners to be as involved in as many (or as few) details as they'd like. We employ technology that keeps homeowners and contractors up to speed on build status, including an up to date calendar of next steps. We partner with the best, most trusted, contractors in the industry. For these reasons, The Fortress Project is known for outstanding quality and service.
The Fortress Project is also committed to helping people in the community! As a 501c(3) organization, we use profits to fund construction projects for homeowners who have home repair needs, but are unable to have the repairs done in traditional ways. With the help of caring partners in the community, our mission staff identifies people with construction needs. We then organize contractors and/or volunteer teams to create solutions. Often, this is done at no cost to the homeowner. We team up with churches, local businesses, and caring community members willing to assist.
We are determined to put our faith into action.
As written in Matthew 22:37-40, the Fortress Project strives to put God first, and the needs of others in front of our own.

I'd like to meet homeowners, and individuals interested in helping others who are unable to help themselves.
A homeowner who would like to remodel, or add living space in their basement. or
A young family wanting to add on to their existing home. or
A husband and wife looking to building their "forever home." or
An older couple hoping to update their living space, allowing them to remain in their home for as long as possible. or
Any homeowner with a construction need! :)
