Jay brings a passion and entrepreneurial spirit to any situation that can confront a design firm. As managing partner Jay is responsible for the day to day operations of oslund.and.assoc., including all financial affairs, staff performance and balancing of current work load schedules. Jay's background in business has provided a sound foundation for office procedure and responsiveness to our clientele. His methodology of balancing value, quality, and fiscal responsibility have been the cornerstone of success for oslund.and.assoc.
His interest in golf and skill level led him to earn medalist honors in the 1993 U.S. Mid-Amateur Tournament. He has also competed in numerous USGA events throughout the country. That interest has led to the involvement of oslund.and.assoc. in many golf course and resort master planning and design efforts.
