Jacob Cimmer

Chief Executive Officer

Shane Webley

Vice President

As a farm kid from Central Washington Shane found his true love for Heavy Civil construction right out of High School when he became a laborer for Local 440 in Seattle. After starting a family and working for several years in the industry Shane returned to college obtaining a BS in Construction Management from the University of Washington and eventually an MBA from the University of Wyoming. Shane's passion for Construction is as strong today as it's ever been. He loves building work where we live and seeing the positive impact it has on our local communities.   

Mike Dysert

Senior Project Manager

Jake Rudolph

Senior Project Manager

Jake has spent the last 13 of his 19 years in this industry with Johansen. After studying Environmental Science at the University of Washington with hopes to have a career in wildlife conservation and ecological studies, he decided that benefiting the greater good of our area with housing and infrastructure was more in his interest. Jake enjoys working for a vibrant young company, building complex projects, and taking time to go hunting and fishing with his friends and family on the weekends. 

Andy Smith

Chief Estimator

Andy worked odd jobs in high school operating forklifts and liked it so much he looked into turning it into a career. A little while later and a degree in construction management he found himself in an estimating role. Andy has been in the industry for over 30 years now and loves his job. Andy's favorite core value is 'Pushing Limits'  because he likes to reach goals then immediately make new ones that are bigger and better. If Andy weren't working at JCC he would be off enjoying a beverage or two outside around a campfire or out on a lake fishing. 

Sue Lewis

Chief Financial Officer

Sue started out in the architectural/engineering industry in Alaska but when moving back to Washington found a different opportunity in construction. She fell in love with the industry almost immediately, she loves the challenges, the difficult projects, and the fast paced environment. Her favorite core value is  'Team Driven' because she believes in a collaborative problem solving approach and that the best work can be accomplished by working together. Sue is a big dog enthusiast and if she weren't working at JCC she would be off competing with her dogs in agility, rally, and obedience. 

Brandon Swaab

Safety/Health/Environmental Engineer

Brandon interned with Johansen while he attended Central Washington University getting his degree in Safety & Health Management. A few years later he joined our team full time. Brandon's favorite part about his job is that he is able to get out in the field, meet new people, and learn something new everyday. Outside of work you can find Brandon spending time with his family or at the gym weight lifting. 

Rachel Thomas

Contract Manager

Rachel has been with the company for over 6 years and in the construction industry for over 11. She stumbled upon the industry through a Temp agency and has loved it ever since. Rachel's favorite company core value is 'People Focused' because she enjoys helping others and being someone's go-to for information. She's mom to her teenage son Declan and if she weren't working at JCC she would be off winning big trophys for her mad lip sync skills. 

Rachael Turner

Human Resources Representative

Rachael went to Western WA to get a degree in Business and had no idea she would end up in the construction industry. She has fallen in love with the atmosphere, people and most importantly culture this industry and company provides. Having the opportunity to work with each and every person in the company and helping create the best working environment possible over the past 7 years is why she is a go to contact for everyone around here. Planning company events, updating social media with the latest jobsite photos, and planning trips to Disneyland are some of her mentionable favorites.
