PRINCIPAL ARCHITECT

JACKSON STROM, AIA

Jackson Strom discovered a love for drawing at a young age while growing up in rural South Dakota. In addition to working on the farm, he built homes with his Dad during the summer, and poured concrete for a local contractor. He often looks back to the experience he gained during those years to assist in his current design outlook.

Jackson earned his Master’s Degree in Architecture from North Dakota State University while working for one of the premier architecture firms in the region. During this time, his growing interest in design led him to spend his free time studying architecture, and growing his knowledge of the profession. These experiences would lead him to become a design principal in a regionally renowned and award-winning firm.

With over a decade of experience, Jackson’s passion for the profession led him to found Strom Architecture. Outside of the office, Jackson loves to spend time with his wife, Lindsey, and their boys, Sully and Oliver.
