Jay McDevitt
jay@bladecore.net
Director of Sales
Jay has been leading the BladeCore® charge since its inception in 2014. Since day one, Jay has always tried to hear what customers are looking for and act in their best interest. His favorite part of the job is hearing the stories about the “old days” from the old-timers in this industry, working for a family-owned business, and meeting new people while at the same time retaining old friendships. Building those relationships with customers and following through on what he says he can do is very important to Jay.
Jay lives in Duluth, MN and is a very proud husband and father of 4 sons.
