Joseph McKinstry
Joseph McKinstry started the Joseph McKinstry Construction Company in 1977. As president, he continues to work closely with clients on all matters of budgeting, scheduling and coordination of site work contracts. Together, with JMCC's management team, Joe has earned a reputation as one of the premium builders of the Puget Sound region.

After studying architecture at the University of Washington, Joe began a traditional carpentry apprenticeship building Black and Caldwell/Ralph Anderson designed homes on Mercer Island. The almost lost art of the master builder approach Joe learned during this period has served him well over the years in his understanding of the rudimentary as well as the most sophisticated aspects of construction. After working for five years in the field and attaining his Master Carpenter rating, Joe started his own company in 1977; the Joseph McKinstry Construction Company has been building steadily ever since.

Joe is an active and dedicated member of the Seattle community. He served as president of the Mount Baker Community Club from 1989 to 1991, acting as volunteer community coordinator for the reconstruction of the arsoned Mount Baker Community Clubhouse in 1992. Often accompanied by his family, Joe has served as house leader for numerous Habitat for Humanity Jimmy Carter Work Projects both nationally and internationally. He chaired the Building Green Task Force for the Seattle and South King County Habitat for Humanity affiliates. He has also served on the Board of Directors of the Pacific Northwest Ballet, the Seattle Affiliate of Habitat for Humanity, Epiphany School in Seattle, and currently serves as Chairman of the Capital Campaign for the University of Washington Libraries. In 2001, Joe and his wife, Jill, established the University of Washington McKinstry Libraries Diversity Fellowship, an endowment aimed at encouraging students from diverse backgrounds to explore careers in academic librarianship.
