lincoln ramsey, owner
Hailing from outside Denver, Colorado, Lincoln Ramsey is a true jack of all trades. Lincoln has been a successful chef, woodworker, food salesman, cell phone guru, helped launch an apparel brand and a hundred other things. One thing Lincoln has never been is typical, as evidenced by the school system's inability to keep his attention. All of these things came together into a love for technology and helping people solve problems. If it can be done, Lincoln will find a way to do it, and if he can't, it probably isn't worth doing. There are so many parts to who Lincoln is that you truly have to meet him to know him.
A native of Jackson for over 20 years, Lincoln joined Nuts & Bolts in 2004, and he became a partner in 2007. Most of the time you can hear him coming, either on a dirt bike or a snowmobile, or with Sam, his lab and constant companion. In late 2007, Lincoln and his girlfriend, Jen Meagher, became the proud parents of Jordan Rae, an adorable and animated baby girl. Like her father, Jordan is already showing that the apple doesn't fall too far from a good tree...
