Jamie began his career in the staffing industry in 1994 when he took the reins of the family company and became President of Hire Calling, Inc., a staffing company with ten locations. Through acquisition and organic growth, the company grew to over 130 offices doing nearly $400 million in sales and covering twenty-five western states. Jamie’s education in managing the workers’ compensation issues inherent to a staffing company began early in life when his father mortgaged the family home in order to have the funds to deposit with the State of Oregon to enable Hire Calling to become a self-insured employer. Growing up, a successful workers’ compensation program literally determined whether or not the family had a roof over its head. That early indoctrination led to an intimate understanding of the elements critical to a successful staffing industry workers’ compensation program.
Seeing a clear market need for an insurance carrier who understands the unique characteristics of a staffing company, Jamie became the driving force behind the formation of Work First Casualty Company in 2005. Beginning in 2008, he began serving as the President of Work First Casualty Company, and currently sits on the Board of Directors for NextJob.
Jamie attended Oregon State University and graduated in 1995 with Summa Cum Laude honors earning a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management.
