Meet the JS Design + Build team

Judy Schindler

JUDY SCHINDLER
Founder, Designer, and General Contractor

When I’m not laughing and playing with my lively little grandkids—who keep me young and slightly out of breath—you’ll find me halfway across the globe, uncovering the stories of ancient lands and basking in my love of history. Throw in some golf and California landscape painting and that’s me in a nutshell.

Brian-Dodd

BRIAN DODD
Vice President and Project Manager

One man, armed with blueprints and a six-string, battles the forces of delay and indecision. Juggling beams, budgets, and bad Wi-Fi, he bends time itself to meet impossible deadlines. His mission? Build the unbuildable—and still make it home for family dinner.

Tom Lucchesi

TOM LUCCHESI
Draftsman and Project Manager

Team player, creator, and fixer—whether building solutions, crafting originals, or tackling life's challenges. From playing music to soccer, and raising two kids, I thrive on teamwork and hands-on problem-solving that turns ideas into reality.

Alisha Kilgore

ALISHA KILGORE
Accountant

When I’m not balancing the books or analyzing budgets, you’ll find me cheering on my favorite baseball team, tending to my garden, or riding my Harley under the California sunshine. I believe excellence is in the details, and I bring that mindset to every project I'm part of.

Javier Sanchez Torres

JAVIER SÁNCHEZ TORRES
Estimator

Estimator by trade and basketball player by misguided ambition. I enjoy spending time with the people I care about, embracing whatever spontaneous plans we come up with. While my work demands a calculated approach, I prefer to live my life spontaneously!

Sarah Hatfield

SARAH HATFIELD
Project Administrator

Movies, video games, and puzzles? Basically, I’m training my brain to be both sharp and entertained. Whether I’m solving a puzzle, binge-watching a movie, or slaying work projects, I do it all with creativity, sass, and a bit of strategic flair.
