Model Remodel Owner 40 Under 40 Honoree

Here’s some exciting news to pass along — Model Remodel founder Jason Legat was selected by The Puget Sound Business Journal as one of its 2011 40 Under 40 honorees.

For 13 years, the PSBJ has been spotlighting the area’s top business leaders under the age of 40 who excel in their industries. Our robust business community is globally renowned for its innovation and creativity, and this year’s list is no exception. Jason and the other recipients will be profiled in the publication’s September 9th special edition and honored at an event later that week at The Showbox Sodo.

Jason is thrilled to be included on this prestigious list saying, “What an incredible honor for me and my talented team. It’s terrific recognition for Model Remodel’s decade-long commitment to our expanding portfolio of quality projects, repeat customers and ongoing referrals.”

Jason’s staff and crew consider him a visionary leader. When the recession hit, he immediately saw an opportunity to learn about and teach eco-building practices. He also connected with area architects who deliver 21st-century green homes.

Jason grew up in Coupeville, WA, where he learned his trade as a contractor’s apprentice for a local construction company. Jason also loves to play the drums, hike and practice yoga with his wife and young son.
