Jacob Ivester
As a kid, Jacob always enjoyed working with his hands and knew he wanted a career doing so. While in school, he joined an apprenticeship program and started working with a company doing machining. Later, Jacob joined a company as an electrical maintenance technician. While working in these past positions he realized they did not give him the challenge and variety that he craved.
When offered the job at Cornerstone Mechanical, he was excited for what could possibly be in store and enjoys the new places and challenges that are offered week to week and day to day. Interacting with different people and different technologies on each job offers him chances to grow and learn, which is right up his alley.
