Meet the dream team

Jerod is our frontman, and he rocks. Literally. The dude saw more than 100 bands last year. Since founding Recon in 2019, he has orchestrated us to be one of the fastest-growing companies in the nation. Due in part to his vast experience playing every instrument in our business. From kickstarting marketing and tech start-ups to working at insurance and roofing companies, he knows how the music is made. But what truly strikes a chord with him is empowering others to be the best version of themselves — whether personally or professionally. We like the sound of that.

Dan Shipton is the captain of our ship. As General Manager, he is responsible for making sure it’s all hands on deck as we set sail on our ambitious goals. Dan has years of experience leading corporate executives and has been on many voyages starting and running companies. When he isn’t on an adventure with his son or dog Ruby, you can find him listening to music or winning at card games. Although his slightly stern nature, we’re happy he’s at the helm.

Originally from Perry, Toby now lives in Des Moines. Toby holds a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Iowa State. He enjoys playing golf, billiards, basketball, dancing, and drinking wine. If he’s watching sports, it’s usually to cheer on the Chicago Bulls.

Meet Alex Boisjolie, our amazing and talented brand and marketing director. This Algona native and Waukee resident is an incredible all-around guy. Alex is a decorated pickleball champion, a master of smoked meats, a marathon runner, and a 2x (half) Ironman. Besides sports and cooking, Alex enjoys hanging out with his beautiful wife and the most perfect daughter and son in the history of the world. He graduated top of his class from the University of Iowa with prestigious degrees in Creative Writing and Journalism and Mass Communications. He also loves to write his own bio.

Colten is like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson but much, much shorter. Colten’s got the charisma, muscles, tats, and, oh boy, does he love the spotlight. He’s truly a dynamic and motivated star. And when it comes to the success of our Central Iowa team, Colten is, well, our rock.

Originally from Grinnell, Libby now lives in Urbandale with her boyfriend and their dog Bodhi. Libby holds an associate of arts degree from DMACC. She enjoys going to concerts and being by bodies of water. She cheers on the Iowa Hawkeyes, Minnesota Vikings, and the Chicago Cubs.

Billy is as nice and selfless as they come. He served our country in the Army National Guard and now is serving customers with his unparalleled experience in the insurance world. This Clive resident loves to spend time with his family and play basketball. We are so thankful for his service in more ways than one.

Jessica Moen is an outgoing Des Moines native who loves to spend time with her family and their four-legged friends. When she's not cooking up something delicious in the kitchen, you can find her exploring the great outdoors — from taking leisurely strolls to camping under the stars. With a passion for life, Jessica is a vibrant spirit who knows how to make each moment count. At Recon, we work every day to create unparalleled customer experiences. Recon is dedicated to changing perceptions about the roofing industry by providing exceptional work and communication. Having a professional like Jess is a testament to that dedication.

Fair warning: Brian might get short with you. Literally. But what he lacks in height, he makes up for with his big and easy-going personality. Hailing from Waterloo and currently a resident of Ankeny, Brian loves to hunt, bike, and tinker away at woodworking projects. Let’s just hope he is able to build himself a step stool. ​

Looking for a new roof? You should give Bradey a shot… or he will pour you one. This experienced bartender brings a ton of people skills and construction knowledge to our team. Bradey is a multi-talented dude and loves to shake things up. He once was a scuba diver instructor in the Florida Keys. He also likes to bike, fish, snowboard, and camp. So, if you are looking to revamp your home’s exterior, don’t wait until last call. Bradey should be your first.

Sam gave himself the title of Recon’s Intimacy Coordinator, where his responsibilities include being our Chief Hug Strategist, Secretary of Platonic Affairs, and VP of Frown Upside Down. The guy is a walking and (always) talking ray of fun-shine, and we’re lucky he’s with us. Hailing from Des Moines, Sam also loves to hike, kayak, and spin records under the name “Rev. Fun.” Not to mention, he is a certified reverend.

Dave is a high-motor go-getter who enjoys kayaking, skiing, hiking, biking, and running. Born and raised on the south side of Des Moines, he currently lives in Norwalk and has more than two decades of experience in the construction industry. Being a guitarist in multiple bands around town, we’re thrilled to have booked him to work at this gig. ​

Derrick loves to have fun with puns and is our resident dad joke extraordinaire. The man is a walking, talking Laffy Taffy wrapper. Originally from the Quad Cities, Derrick now lives in West Des Moines with his daughter Mika and puppy dog Loot. When he isn’t helping customers, you can find him cheering on his Kansas City Chiefs and Hawkeyes. Although he’s quite cheesy, he has one of the most aged Recon tenures and a downright Gouda dude. It’s grate to have him on board.​

Don’t let the muscles and haircut fool you, Mike is a real nerd. With two Master's degrees in physical education and curriculum and instruction, this stud loves to learn. Hailing from Marshalltown, Mike lives in Ankeny and has years of experience as a beloved teacher and coach. But we’re trying to not blow too much smoke at him, we wouldn’t want to mess up his hair.

Dylan is one of our top shingle sluggers. This former college baseball player has been a star since joining our team. Originally from Champaign, IL, Dylan now lives in Marion with his family. Dylan enjoys playing and watching sports and fishing. Looking to have a project done? He’ll knock it out of the park.

Originally from Urbandale, IA, Tyler now lives in Granger with his wife and three kids. Tyler is an avid outdoorsman. If Tyler isn’t helping clients with their project you can find him hunting or fishing. He enjoys spending time with family and cheering on the St. Louis Cardinals. At Recon, we work everyday to create unparalleled customer experiences. Recon is dedicated to changing the perceptions about the roofing industry by providing exceptional work and communication. Having a professional like Tyler is a testament to that dedication.

Although his eye might be, JD is anything but lazy. This go-getter’s work ethic is unmatched, and neither is the volume of his echoing voice. Hailing from Clive, “Daddy” loves to spend time with his wife Leslie, son Tripp, and dog Ember. It’s impossible not to like him or his self-deprecating jokes about his one eye. We truly hit the bullseye by having him as part of our squad. ​

Four scores and seven years ago, Thomas and his family did Civil War reenactments. This lovable nerd and Iowa City resident is a former teacher and state-champion track star. Looking for a home exterior project? Send him your (Gettysburg) address, and he’ll be over as fast as possible.

Shaun is one of the funniest guys you’ll ever meet. And he’ll be the first one to tell you that. This fun-loving dude went to Saydel High School and lives in Des Moines with his soon-to-be wife and three dogs. He has a ton of experience in real estate and even more telling the same jokes over and over and over again. We’re lucky he’s (eye) rolling with Recon.

A Des Moines native, Max holds an Associates Arts degree from DMACC. He enjoys producing music, finding new music, going to concerts, collecting clothes and shoes, going out with friends, working out, traveling, walking his dog, and watching movies. At Recon, we work every day to create unparalleled customer experiences. Recon is dedicated to changing perceptions about the roofing industry by providing exceptional work and communication. Having a professional, like Max, is a testament to that dedication.

There’s something fishy about, Joe. Seriously. This certified scuba stud loves being underwater, but not when it comes to his projects. Joe loves to dive headfirst into any competition you throw at him. This Des Moines native also likes to cook, bake, and play ping-pong. But his true love remains the sea — considering he also has pet turtles and he married the aquatics supervisor at the Blank Park Zoo. He might need to lay off the seaweed.

Bert is a great guy and an even better coach. He is the founding head coach of the Waukee Warriors Lacrosse program, and the president & head coach of Iowa's premier summer travel lacrosse team, Iowa Central Elite Lacrosse (ICE LAX). He is the president of a custom bathroom and kitchen remodeling company named Tile RX, the prescription for all your tile needs. Bert lives in Des Moines with his beautiful wife, Margaret, and their fur babies, Reece Peanut and Harry Pawter. He is a tile wizard, poker shark, and an avid concertgoer. Bert is a multi-faceted asset to the Des Moines community and our company. At Recon, we work every day to create unparalleled customer experiences. Recon is dedicated to changing perceptions about the roofing industry by providing exceptional work and communication. Having a professional like Bert is a testament to that dedication.

Nick has a ton of experience under his black belt. This martial artist is a third-degree judo black belt, sensei, and a Brazilian jiu-jitsu stud who knows his way around the mat and your roof. Originally from Des Moines, Nick now lives in West Des Moines with his fiance’ and daughter. When he isn’t taking someone down, he’s always up to cook or golf. Although skilled in combat, he’s actually a friendly guy. If you see him around, come say “hi-ya”!

Tyler loves Cheetos. In fact, his hometown of Algona is home to the World’s Largest Cheeto. When Tyler isn't busy with work, he likes being outdoors under the Flamin’ Hot sun playing golf and pickleball. He also loves to stay busy renovating houses. However, some customers have complained of orange fingerprints everywhere.
