While growing up in the Midwest, Jim learned the business of building homes inside and out working with his father. In 1979, his family decided to make the move to Arizona, where Jim has lived ever since.

His early years were spent working for a nationally-recognized corporate company where he was responsible for managing over 250 employees, and became proficient in cost planning, organizational, motivational and accountability skills. He mastered the art of setting goals, creating the action plan to achieve those goals, and executing the action plan, which brought him great success in the organization and all aspects of Jim’s life.

Although he was climbing the corporate ladder, his passion for creating homes and lifestyles was still burning…He began again in 1997 creating homes on his own and shortly thereafter left the corporate world to chase his dream. Today, Jim’s experience in building homes ranges from 1500 sq ft casitas to 8500 sq ft million dollar projects. If you can dream it Jim can build it. To add to the value of Jim’s organization, he is also a licensed realtor and his wife Theresa is his lender. Steg Custom Homes is a one stop shop.
