MINUTEMAN DESIGN CENTER - Key Persons

J.C. Lopez opened Minuteman in 1981, as Minuteman Furniture Stripping & Refinishing, beginning as a furniture refinishing shop and eventually expanding into a kitchen and bathroom restoration company. During this time, Mr. Lopez fine tuned his customer service, sales and craftsmanship that the company needed to thrive. J.C. Lopez is a sixth-generation Albuquerque-area native. His father, Jose Lopez, was born and raised in the small village of Manzano, in the Manzano Mountains. His mother, Frances Lopez, is from the village of Torreon, also in the Manzano Mountains. This family's New Mexico roots date back to the 1600s. Though most of the Lopez family tree consists of homegrown ranchers and farmers, J.C.'s father was the first to break from the farming tradition and become a barber in the city of Albuquerque. Like his father before him, J.C. found something he knew he could do and do it well.

Jeremy was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM. He is married to Ashley with three beautiful daughters, Aubri, Olivia and Scarlett and one handsome son, Jeremiah. He is a graduate of Sandia High School where he played on the basketball team all four years, three of which as the starting point guard for the varsity team. This is where he began honing his leadership skills. It was at this time that the seed was planted that Jeremy would someday own his own business.
