Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Mr. Jessup has distinguished himself as a leader in the construction and home improvement industry, amassing more than four decades of experience and earning a reputation for integrity, consistency, technical expertise and client-centered service. As the president of Certified Home Remodelers Inc. since 1997, he has guided the company for nearly 30 years, upholding rigorous industry standards and countering the prevailing market reputation for substandard installations and unfulfilled contractor promises.

Under Mr. Jessup's leadership, Certified Home Remodelers Inc. has maintained a consistent five-star rating in Maryland by strictly executing agreed-upon contractural scopes of work, maintaining quality performance standards, continued direct project managing, and prioritizing customer service years after project completion. His operational model is driven by organic client referrals and revolving previous customers rather than traditional radio or television advertising, further reflecting his commitment to professional follow-through — a principle rooted in the advice of his late father, who taught that success depends on keeping one's word even at personal cost.

In addition to his role at Certified Home Remodelers Inc., Mr. Jessup is also the owner and chief executive officer of Brad Jessup Custom Home Builders Inc., established in 2013, and Jessup Enterprises LLC, founded in 2019.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Jessup served as the chief executive director of one of the largest home improvement companies located in Maryland for over seven years, where he gained valuable experience managing large-scale operations within the home improvement sector under the guidance and training from mentored corporation business owners, mortgage bankers, lending brokers, and financial investors. He previously worked with various home improvement construction companies in Maryland and within the Baltimore / Washington metropolitan areas, representing products and advancing through corporate ranks before establishing his own independent contracting businesses. His professional journey began at an early aged apprentice taught by his father in all aspects of residential construction. During his early years, Mr. Jessup applied for and was accepted to become a Career FireFighter and a Maryland State Trooper; however, budget constraints due to a slowing economy led to hiring freezes shortly after being accepted to this positions, prompting his return to the construction industry.

A hallmark of Mr. Jessup's approach is his commitment to technical excellence and consumer protection. He founded Certified Home Remodelers Inc. on the basis with the goal in mind of distinguishing his operations from competitors by securing official manufacturer certifications for specific products offered, including (VSI) -Vinyl Siding Institute Certifications, Certified Master Shingle Applicator, Certified Radiant Barrier Specialist, and other multiple manufacturer certifications, while holding current licensing as a Maryland and Pennsylvania Licensed Home Improvement Contractor and a Maryland Licensed Residential Home Building Contractor. He has further been confirmed through an Administrative Law Judge to be an Expert Arbitration Witness in his field of trade and recognized to offer credible arbitrary testimony in cases involving Home Improvement Estimation & Construction Process & Procedures.

As a registered licensed home builder operating under the stringent licensing, bonding and consumer protection laws enforced by the Office Of The Attorney General - Consumer Protection Division, Mr. Jessup constructs residential homes in strict accordance with local, county, state and federal building codes and guidelines.

He additionally holds a Lead Safe Renovator Certification through the (EPA) -Environmental Protection Agency as a Certified Firm in Toxic Substance Control through Certified Home Remodelers, Inc. and possesses extensive expertise in offering representation when handling residential insurance damage claims dealing with multiple insurance agencies for storm, hail, tornado and fire related damages. Preforming work under contractural retainer contracts, Mr. Jessup evaluates all property damages to counter initial underestimates by insurance company's claims adjusters, which often only covers 40% to 50% of actual damages. He then consults, negotiates, and manages all aspects in relation to the insurance claims process in an effort to ensure the homeowner(s) are fully compensated for all related damages and necessary repairs in making them whole. His goal is to secure all related allowance costs so the homeowner(s) are only obligated in paying their original agreed upon deductible for the completion of any insurance restoration claim process.

In addition, Mr. Jessup owns and operates a wholesale distributorship for MasterBrand Kitchen & Bathroom Cabinetry with a showroom located in Westminster, Maryland, featuring multiple cabinetry lines available to other remodeling contractors and to the public alike. His memberships with the Maryland Chamber of Commerce, Frederick County Building Industry Association, and the National Association of Home Builders further underscores his standing within the industry. Mr. Jessup has also been recognized as a Patriotic Employer from the United States — Office of the Secretary of Defense in providing employer support of the guard and reserve, offering flexibility to all men and women serving in the armed forces while seeking employment in the private sector.

Mr. Jessup's educational background includes earning a high school diploma before embarking on his professional journey. In 1986, he achieved national certified firefighter status through the Pennsylvania State Fire Academy, a credential that reflects both technical skill and dedication to public service and safety. He further was awarded Certificates of Achievements through The National Assessment Institute in 1991.

Born and raised in Conneaut Lake, Pennsylvania, with very limited financial means, Mr. Jessup credits his success not to formal education but to the initiative and motivation of hard work, commitment, perseverance, faith, and foundational lessons imparted by his parents. His father instilled a strong work ethic supported with a sense of integrity from an early age, while his mother encouraged him to work smarter by reaching for higher levels of achievement. Relocating to Maryland on September 7, 1988, with little more than a partially filled small 5' x 8' utility trailer, he was drawn by opportunity in the Washington-Baltimore metropolitan area's robust job market. Mr. Jessup claimed his motivation was based on doing something with his life, rather than being afraid of failure only to become nothing, so he ventured far from home and family to pursue and entrepreneurial life style which has afforded him advanced financial means and thriving companies to date.

Faith remains central to Mr. Jessup's life and business philosophy; every logo, lapel, hat, and webpage associated with his companies features Proverbs 16:3: "Commit to the Lord everything you do, and your plans will succeed." He attributes all achievements and successes, including independently owning three thriving corporations at age 61 and managing a workforce of 34 highly skilled tradesmen, to God's grace and blessings.

Beyond professional pursuits, Mr. Jessup has actively engaged in civic initiatives through local churches. Notably, he led a company crew to remodel a residential care facility near Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge in Tennessee serving orphaned and at-risk youth; their efforts included window replacements, exterior siding repairs and interior repairs & painting to provide children with a safe living environment.

In his personal life, Mr. Jessup enjoys international travel and hunting, a passion rooted in childhood experiences hunting and fishing alongside family members to help feed their household. This tradition traces back to his paternal grandfather, who built a successful career as a hunting and fishing outfitter in Quebec, Canada. Today, Mr. Jessup continues this legacy through hunting expeditions abroad, including recent travels throughout North & South America and one of his most favorite places, Alaska.

Looking ahead, Mr. Jessup plans to scale back business operations with an eye toward eventual retirement while pursuing ministry work that draws upon his lifelong love of hunting.
