Frank Christmann, Construction Manager

Frank brings over 40 years of experience building and remodeling homes to the Treasure Valley Habitat for Humanity team. He began his career in the San Francisco Bay Area, where rebuilding after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake taught him the importance of structural connection. In 1998, he moved to Sacramento to lead a home remodeling division, quickly growing the business through clear communication and on-time completion. In 2007, he launched Christmann Construction, a referral-only business that let him focus fully on helping clients achieve their dream homes. After moving to Nampa, Idaho in 2022 with his wife, Jennifer, and building their own home, Frank joined Habitat as Construction Manager, combining decades of expertise with a passion for creating safe, stable homes that provide dignity and a foundation for a better future.

Jake Crist, Repairs Program Manager

A Boise native and BSU alumnus, Jake first began his involvement with Habitat for Humanity through an internship program at ReStore. After graduating with a BS in social science, Jake fell in love with Habitat's hometown cause and family focus, soon after accepting a part-time truck driver position. Jake helped open the Collister ReStore and immediately became the store manager, which lead to his promotion to General Manager in 2018. Now focusing on repairs, Jake is excited to further develop the Home Repairs Program to provide safe housing and prevent displacement. In his spare time, Jake enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time with his family.

Katie earned her Master of Social Work from Boise State and received her LMSW in early 2026. Through her previous work at Jesse Tree and St. Luke’s Hospital, Katie saw firsthand the distress caused by housing insecurity. This fueled her desire to keep as many Boise neighbors housed as possible, and she is thrilled to further serve the community through Habitat’s Home Repairs Program.
