I am the owner of Jenkins Enterprises. I manage our team, projects, coordinate future development and oversee every move the company makes. I am a family man. My wife and I have been married since 2010 and I have a son and daughter that I am hopeful will want to be entrepreneurs like me.When I am not doing business, spending time with my family is my favorite thing to do. I started JE part time, after working at my construction job, in 2006 when I was just 18 years old with a hand me down mower and a handful of yard contracts that were friends and family. Fast forward to the present, I have since started 6 other businesses ranging from farming to flipping houses. I am an optimistic entrepreneur and love to try new things which is why I start so many businesses.
