Jarrod Dijkema
Facility Fixer
Jarrod likes to joke that he's ZEAL's lead investor. He's in the process of transforming the studio; he's made the outbuilding structurally sound, stapled bed sheets up for temporary walls, and will be replacing the roof soon. You might see him managing the water hoses, boxes of clay, or helping us wax or sand the bottoms of pots!
