About Us

To know Nathan is to understand that he is a glass-half-full kind of guy. Laser-focused and unwilling to work inside the box; investing his energy into what can be done, not stalling at can’t. This is not to say that he keeps his head in the clouds (except maybe when scaling mountains in the Himalayas), but striking the perfect balance between keeping it real and pushing for more.

Guided by his faith, family, and love for his country, Levi Troy is a man who knows where his priorities lie. Born under the expansive skies of Montana, he found his home in Minnesota in 1998, where he has since built a legacy. With a construction career spanning over 25 years, Levi has witnessed firsthand how some companies in the construction industry placed profits over their clients. This disheartening reality was a catalyst, compelling him to build a business that would prioritize the needs of its customers. His experiences range from commercial flat roofing, shingles, gutters, to roles of increasing leadership responsibility including sales manager, VP, and now, owner. In 2016 T&J was born from this desire for change. More than just a company, T&J represents Levi’s commitment to providing a 5-star service where customers are treated like family and service quality is the norm, not the exception. His vision for T&J was not just about building a successful business, but also about creating a platform that supports the livelihood of many families. Levi’s relentless pursuit of excellence, combined with his deep industry knowledge and experience, are the cornerstones of T&J’s ethos. His leadership reflects his personal values and his ambition to build a company that delivers more than just profit, but also a strong community of satisfied customers and employees. Outside of work, Levi is an enthusiastic outdoorsman, often found immersed in nature, with a fishing rod or hunting gear in hand, relishing the thrill of the wild. And when winter blankets his surroundings, he welcomes the opportunity to travel, seeking warmer climates to continue his outdoor adventures.

Known for his infectious humor and charisma, Travis had the gift of making every conversation feel like a burst of sunshine – filled with laughter and warmth. A dedicated and skilled plumber, his knowledge of the trades was exceptional, and he was always ready to lend his expertise to those in need.
