Jay Sowash
Jay joined Manor in 2014 after a career in medical sales. Born in St. Clair, Mo., Jay moved to Columbia at the age of 4. He is a 1987 graduate of Rock Bridge High School and a '92 graduate of Northeast Missouri State (now Truman State). He spent 20 years in St. Louis before returning to the town he loves in 2010. When he's not climbing roofs, you can most likely find Jay tailgating at Faurot Field on Saturday mornings or spending time in the woods with his two sons.
