Stewart Jeske , MS, P.E.

Mr. Jeske has built one of the industry’s most respected “P.E. Dream Teams”—a group of engineers and drafters delivering hundreds of projects each year with a 74% client retention rate, providing façade engineering services across the United States and in select international markets. With Professional Engineering (P.E.) licenses in 48 states, He leads projects ranging from high-rise façades to specialty glass structures. His portfolio includes structural glass engineering for the Liberty Bell Pavilion, large-span glass walls, and complex designs for zoo and aquarium animal enclosures where safety, visibility, and durability are critical. JEI’s everyday expertise spans curtain walls, storefront systems, skylights, glass balconies, glass floors, and glass canopies—any project requiring unique knowledge of glass structure, connections, and performance. Because U.S. universities teach engineering students to design in steel, wood, and concrete—but not glass or glazing—expertise in this field is rare. Mr. Jeske and the JEI Dream Team have built their knowledge through decades of hands-on project experience, becoming a go-to resource for architects, contractors, and manufacturers seeking to push the limits of what glass can do. He is the owner of four U.S. patents and a patent pending, including three related to façade systems and is a sought-after continuing education presenter on glazing system design. For the past three years, he has also authored “Engineered Connections” in USGlass Magazine, sharing technical insights, best practices, and forward-looking perspectives with thousands of industry professionals. Before founding JEI, Mr. Jeske served as a Senior Structural Engineer at Burns & McDonnell and as a Base Civil Engineer in the U.S. Air Force. He earned his B.S. in Architectural Engineering from Kansas State University and his M.S. in Civil/Structural Engineering from the University of Missouri–Kansas City. From landmark cultural sites to complex specialty structures, Mr. Jeske’s career reflects a commitment to innovation, constructibility, and delivering building envelopes that are as durable and safe as they are visually striking.
