Profile and Projects Experience

Jay entered the construction industry as a laborer in Clearwater, Florida, in 1980. He became a carpenter’s assistant two years later in Orlando.  In 1984, after earning his bachelor’s degree, he took a position as Project Manager for H.J. High Construction Company in Orlando.  Only a year later, he was recruited by Tolad Industries, Inc. as Construction Manager. His responsibilities included estimating, bidding, and managing all construction for the company in the Orlando, Rockledge, and Cocoa Beach areas. By 1987, he had been recruited as an Estimator-Project Manager for Thomas-McCormack, Inc. in Winter Park. In this position, he estimated, bid, negotiated with subcontractors and occasionally supervised projects in the field.

Sperry & Associates recognized Jay’s talent for construction sales and appointed him as a senior sales representative in 1989. Jay was promoted to sales manager in 1999 and Vice President of Business Development in 2003. He is responsible for assembling design professionals for design/build proposals, selecting potential projects to bid, permitting jobs for construction, and working directly with prospects to meet all of their construction needs.

Because he is familiar with virtually all construction types, Jay’s expertise lends itself in sales, estimating, contract negotiation, risk assessment, and management. He is often involved in strategy development and review on both negotiated and bid projects from initial contact through completion of construction. In addition to his professional and industry affiliations, Jay is also active in many civic activities.
