Construction Champions Podcast

On this episode of Construction Champions Podcast Ron talks with Jason Payne a man on absolute fire both professionally and personally. He shares what was the moment it all changed, and he started dominating.  Born and raised in Arizona, serving the community he feels has given so much to him is what drives Jason on a daily basis... Jason was brought into the roofing industry at an early age where he hit the ground running with his strong work ethic and "go-getter" mindset. Starting with simple admin tasks and running errands, Jason quickly fell in love with the business and soaked in as MUCH as possible from those around him... no matter how big or small the task! A hard worker by nature, Jason quickly rose to the top of every organization he worked with, which culminated in finally fulfilling his dream of starting his own roofing company: State 48 Roofing. Over the last 10+ years, Jason has handled EVERY aspect of the roofing business, from office work to being on the roofs himself, which makes him such an incredible and valuable asset to his customers. When it comes to roofing, Jason cannot be beat in knowledge, expertise, and most importantly care. He takes pride in his work, and personally guarantees that each job performed will be the highest quality possible. Think about it, what other roofing expert can you think of that makes sure each and every roof worked on is given #SexyRoofStatus  When Jason's not taking care of his customers, he LOVES spending time with his wife and five kids... If he's not on a roof, in the office or with a customer, you'll most likely find Jason with his family at a softball game, on the sand dunes, or out camping! To his family, friends and customers, it's common knowledge just how much Jason loves helping others... and not just with their roof! Believe it or not, one of Jason's hobbies includes cooking! And not just for anyone. As he puts it, "Cooking for 2-10 people is kind of boring. The fun REALLY starts when you've got over 100 people!" And Jason literally puts his money where his mouth is. in 2019 alone, Jason has donated his time, money and energy to cook at events such as Teacher Appreciation Day (over 100 teachers), multi-organizational youth group event (over 300 teenagers!), and several religious group events near his home. https://www.instagram.com/jason.the.menace/ https://linktr.ee/LiveBigToday
