Jack is already familiar to the building community as part of the Moorhead Building Codes team since 2000. He also has experience as a mechanical inspector for the City of Fargo. Jack holds certifications as both a Minnesota Certified Building Official and Master Plumbing Certification from both Minnesota and North Dakota, having worked in the trades for several years prior to working in building codes.
Moorhead City Manager Michael Redlinger notes: “The City is very fortunate to retain and promote Jack as our Building Official based on his history with the City and his field experience. We also thank Kurt for his 20 years of service and the team approach shared with Jack these past many years. The transition from Kurt’s leadership to Jack’s will be smooth.” Kerry Peuser, an architect with Michael J. Burns Architects who served on the interview panel indicates: “I’ve worked with Jack on projects and appreciate his code knowledge and his willingness to look at a variety of alternatives to achieve code requirements that save resources or improve the project in some way. The City of Moorhead is lucky to have him.”
The City is currently taking applications to fill the vacancy created by Jack’s promotion.
