I’ve been on both sides of the production problem. I know what it’s like to have more work than you can comfortably handle, to deal with ever changing client schedules, and to try to keep projects moving without adding unnecessary overhead. That’s why we built J3PG the way we did: to be a practical, reliable production resource when industry professionals need extra help.

THE J3PG ORIGIN STORY
J3 = JAY + JOHN + JOSH
It all started with a conversation on a sailboat in 2016. Josh told Jay he’d hire him if he knew AutoCAD, so Jay immediately took night classes, learned the software, and was working with Josh within weeks.
Soon after, Jay, Josh, and John joined forces to build J3 Products Group. What began as a cabinetry and architectural millwork company has since evolved into a production partner for cabinet makers and contractors who need extra capacity, specialized equipment, and reliable help getting projects done.
Meet The Founders
Jay Lewis grew up in a small town in South Carolina where he graduated from the University of South Carolina with degrees in Marketing, International Business and Spanish. Jay did marketing for many years and had the opportunity to visit every contiguous state in the US but after visiting San Diego, he decided to permanently move here in 2005. Jay changed careers briefly leaving marketing and getting into sales before he and Josh were on that infamous sailboat. After getting out of sales and doing redlines for Josh, J3 Products Group was born. When Jay’s not in the office, you can find him surfing, snowboarding, riding his motorcycle, road riding, mountain biking, or practically anything outdoors. A bit of a Type A and overachiever, Jay has also done several Ironman 70.3’s and even spent time volunteering for the world’s largest Triathlon Club, San Diego Triathlon Club.
Josh Gilko is a structural engineer by trade and has been doing it for almost 20 years. He also owns Shop Engineering; a boutique structural engineering firm with offices in San Diego, CA and Bozeman, MT. Josh grew up in Montana and is a former ski patrol and airplane pilot (fun fact: he used to own a plane!). Josh loves being outdoors and has hiked parts of the PCT & John Muir trail. If you can’t find Josh at J3 Products Group or in one of his offices, you may find him driving his Porsche, riding his BMW motorcycle, fishing for trout, mountain biking, surfing or skiing in a foreign country.
