A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Jamie Jenks is a licensed mortgage broker in Indiana. After graduating from the Indiana University Kelley School of Business in 1999 with a degree in Entrepreneurship, Jamie managed multiple bars and restaurants in Chicago, which is where he met his wife, Libby. They married in 2001, and soon after, Jamie embarked on a significant professional detour into the United States Coast Guard.
After their first two Coast Guard duty stations (San Francisco Bay area & the Bayou of SE Louisiana), Jamie pursued his pilot wings at Navy Flight School in Pensacola, Florida. Upon Graduation in 2006, Jamie was assigned to Clearwater, Florida to fly the MH-60 Jayhawk, the USCG’s primary aircraft for long-range Search & Rescue. The couple added to their family in 2007 with their son, Patrick, and in 2011 with their daughter, Scout. The family moved to Sitka, Alaska in 2010, and as natural entrepreneurs with an eye for the community, Jamie & Libby opened “The Bayview Pub” in Sitka with the help of Jamie’s brothers, Jeff & Dave.
They owned and operated The Pub from 2011-2015, establishing it as a staple location for locals and tourists alike, before selling it to pursue other ventures. After another flying assignment out of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Jamie attended the U.S. Army’s Command & Staff School, moving the family to Fort Leavenworth, Kansas in 2018, which ultimately landed them back in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2019 for Jamie’s final assignment in the Coast Guard.
As Jamie’s 20+ years of service with the USCG was coming to a conclusion, the question of their next chapter began. With two teenage children planning to pursue their college educations at Indiana University, the family returned to Bloomington, Indiana.
After a career dedicated to the slogan “so others may live”, Jamie felt the need to serve others in some capacity in his next professional chapter. Jamie’s brother, Dave Jenks (a licensed loan originator in Missoula, Montana), suggested pursuing the mortgage industry to assist others in their pursuit of home ownership. That conversation led to Jamie pursuing his broker license. Whether you are seeking a Conventional, VA, USDA, or other mortgage product, Jamie is proud to serve you!
