Jim Dunn

President

Jim Dunn, President and founder of Stack Modular, was born and raised outside of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. At a young age, he eagerly ventured outside the borders of Alberta and found himself living in Saskatchewan, Pennsylvania, California, and Africa. His global travels, subsequent university degrees in Civil Engineering & Architecture, and professional career as an engineer all contributed to his eventual arrival into China.

It was in Shanghai, China where Jim created one of the first Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprises (WFOE) owned solely by a Canadian. After having created Stack Modular, Mr. Dunn went on to hire architects, engineers, and project managers from Canada, USA, and China to oversee the procurement, quality, and delivery of modular buildings to the rest of the world.

Evan Gould

Vice President, Design

Evan is a Director on the Stack Modular Board and VP of Design. After graduating from Lehigh University, Evan began his career in California as a designer for an architectural firm specializing in premium custom homes serving clients throughout the West Coast and Hawaii.  He later joined Jim Dunn’s then newly-created international trade business in Shanghai, China. Here he was instrumental in forging relationships with international companies, building in-house departments, managing projects, and directing design & engineering initiatives.  From those modest beginnings grew Stack Modular, a design-build firm specializing in modular buildings for the North American market with projects ranging from high-end modular homes to multi-story resorts. He currently oversees all design operations.
