Jeremy Petersen

I started working on job sites when I was 11 years old for my family's commercial roofing company. In 2001, I started my own business, Petersen Builders & Design, LLC where we specialized in roofing, window and door replacements, decks and additions.

I also served as a Construction Technician in Amway's Facility Maintenance Department for four years where I focused on roofing, building exteriors, roadways and more.
