Biography

Jay enjoys creating relationships with new clients and orchestrating high quality creative solutions to the challenges projects may bring as Principal at MGB&A in Salt Lake City. He is often found on the frontlines with clients and the public explaining the pros and cons of options so those involved can make informed decisions and feel confident in the end product. This approachability coupled with his professional knowledge and experience of design and planning allow him the flexibility to deliver quality, creative, and well-planned solutions for the smallest of municipal parks to large scale, multi-million dollar projects.

Behind the scenes, Jay demands a positive work environment and frowns on using the word “can’t”. He knows there’s a solution for every problem and is determined to find it through research, creativity and drawing on the experience of those around him. Once the best solution is found, Jay ensures it is represented in a clear, complete and concise manner to avoid added time or expense to projects.

Jay received his Associate of Arts and Sciences from Ricks College and his Bachelor of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning from Utah State University. He currently serves on the Murray City Historic Committee, Exchange Club of Murray, the Utah State University Landscape Architecture Advisory Board, and is professionally affiliated with the American Society of Landscape Architects and the American Institute of Certified Planners.
