JAY ZAHN
Surety Consultant

Jay joined Hausmann Group in 2021 and brings 30+ years of bonding experience to the Surety team. He is dedicated to helping contractors navigate the bonding process so they can continuously grow and win. To Jay, nothing is more rewarding than providing a small startup contractor with a bond program and helping them build a roadmap to success.
He is active in several construction trade associations, particularly Associated Builders and Contractors of Wisconsin (ABC) where he’s participated in committees, sat on the board, and was elected chairman. In 2020, he was awarded the prestigious Wes Meilahn Award by ABC of Wisconsin as part of their Projects of Distinction Event. The award is bestowed on an ABC member who best exemplifies tenacity, understanding, love and service toward ABC of Wisconsin. Jay is also involved with Associated General Contractors of Wisconsin and Milwaukee (AGC), Construction Financial Management Association (CFMA) and Wisconsin Underground Contractors Association (WUCA), to name a few.
Jay has a Bachelor of Business Administration - Finance from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire. When he’s not working, he’s usually tackling household projects, watching a game, or hiking and biking with his family. Jay and his wife love to visit waterfalls, whether in Wisconsin or on road trips out of state.
