Mitch & Carrie Johnson

Owners

Mitch manages all projects and oversees all scheduling and ordering to ensure all jobs finish on time. He graduated from Hennepin Technical College’s carpentry program in May of 2010 and has been working for the company ever since. 

Carrie is one of J Brothers Interior Designers. She holds certification from the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) and through the state as a Certified Interior Designer (CID). After graduating from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities with a bachelor’s degree in interior design, Carrie gained five years of experience in commercial design and three years in residential. She meets with new clients, does estimates and contracts.

Mitch and Carrie represent the second generation in the J Brothers' history when they bought the company in the Spring of 2022. The two enjoy being active and spending free time with their daughter, Halle, and friends.

Chuck & Teri Johnson

Chuck, the previous president of J Brothers, has worked in the building and remodeling industry for over 40 years. His high school shop classes helped him discover a passion for building and motivated him to enroll in Alexandria Vocational Technical Institute’s carpentry program.

He’s held a variety of positions in his extensive career, including project manager and vice president, in charge of building custom-designed, high-end homes for the majority of that time. Today, he uses his expertise to help new clients outline their remodeling projects, using their vision and ideas to determine scope, timeline, and preliminary budget.

Teri and Chuck married in 1978, and together they ran Chuck’s construction company in Central Minnesota for nine years. Teri worked as a bookkeeper for the business, learning all the ins and outs of the industry firsthand. She bought out Chuck’s brother in 2008 to become co-owner of J Brothers until Spring 2022.

Adam Wachter

Project Manager

Prior to joining the team, Adam was a sales rep and operations manager. His past professions act as a great foundation for his role as a Project Manager at J Brothers. Adam’s duties at J Brothers include daily meetings with subcontractors and ensuring all projects run smoothly with constant communication and updates. In his spare time, Adam enjoys spending time with his wife, Paige, their two kids, Rylee and Westlee, and their two dogs. Adam and Paige also spend time working on a yard game company they started with Paige’s parents in spring 2018: Tri21Boards.com. Adam’s favorite part of his job is the variety his position brings every day and continuously learning new things.

What our past clients say about Adam: “Adam is a planner; he keeps you informed and helps you think through the process. He’s like the mother hen of the group! He is professional and helpful. He kept me up on what time to be out of my jammies each day!”

Ali Crooks

Ali Schulz

Office Manager

Ali is the organizer of all things around the office. She sets up new client appointments, collects bids from subcontractors, and sends out project schedules. She has a degree in Legal Administration, which is well used when she puts together client contracts and manages invoices. 

When she isn’t working, Ali loves to cook. Occasionally, she spoils the team and brings homemade treats into the office. She also enjoys spending time with her husband, Luke, and her two boys.

Robby Roach

Framer and Detailer

Robby grew up in Oregon and was a ranch hand on a 150-acre cattle farm. During that time, he learned to frame and mend fences, bailed hay, and lent his hard work wherever he could. He’s a great fit at J Brothers because of his past work experience. Robby is always willing to help anyone who needs it whether it be at work, or after hours. His favorite part of the job is the chance to learn something new every day. When he isn’t working, Robby spends his time outdoors and with his girlfriend, Naomi.
