    Jamie Sabbach

    President, 110%, Inc

    An enthusiastic but bad dancer. Excitable when in the presence of a dog. I love the idea of being a marathoner – don’t have the legs. Vertically challenged or “fun size”, I’m the last one to know it’s raining.

    Mom from Appalachia. Father an immigrant from the middle east. I’m a curious combo of the two. Native of the Chicagoland area, I bleed Cubbie Blue with a dog named Wrigley. Enough said.

    With a grandfather who was a carpenter, woodworking is in my DNA. The mountains of Colorado are my home. Hiking is a way of life.

    Halloween birthday. Nickname: Pumpkin.

    Started 110% Inc in 2010. If you don’t know 110%, Google it. 30+ years serving the parks and recreation profession as a practitioner, educator, consultant.

    Testified to the US Congress on the critical importance of public lands and recreation. Presentations given in North America and Europe to thousands. I like to call out the elephant in the room. Why not?

    I’ve been privileged to spend my adult life and career serving the park and recreation profession doing something I love. Not everyone can say that.
