Our Mission

Jacob and his wife, Thaïs, and their four kids, live, build, and play in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. While managing AirBNBs in the Sierra Nevadas, the Central Valley, and the Pacific Coast, they began to dream of creating custom tiny homes on wheels to bring housing and adventure to others. And that dream has become a reality.

Jacob runs point for JT Collective. He developed a love for carpentry in high school building custom kitchen cabinets, and later grew his experience to include general construction, finish carpentry, electrical, roofing,  glazing, superintending, and more. He has a knack for attention to detail, and has always found joy in working with both his head and his hands.

John is a highly skilled third-generation carpenter with almost two decades of experience as a residential home inspector. He has his plumbing, electrical, and general contractor’s licenses all in his bag of tools. He’s the Optimus Maximus of carpenters, and brings uncompromising  experience & integrity to the team.
