Salish General Contracting is owned and operated by Joe D’Amelio (right) and Jared Douglas (left), two Oregon State University mechanical engineering graduates who grew up in Anacortes (GO BEAVS).

Jared is a proud member of the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community who loves to be active in his free time hiking, skiing, dirt bike riding, and playing on the water (all before lunch!). After graduating from OSU, he was an engineer for a large general contractor in Seattle and then Colorado before coming back to Anacortes to start Salish General Contracting.

Joe, upon graduating from college spent time working for a general contractor located on NAS Whidbey prior to entering into the aerospace industry. In his free time he enjoys fishing, archery, and spending time with his dog, Baker.
