As a first-generation Greek American, at an early age Julie Mastriani was taught that success in life comes to those who work hard. She does work hard and has great fun doing it. In addition to the strong work ethic she learned from her parents, she also developed a sense of the importance of personal accountability, kindness and compassion as guiding life principles.

‍

As the President of Miramonte, Mastriani empowers her team to be the best in the industry by supporting professional growth at all levels of the organization. She calls it “the Miramonte culture” that rewards performance and ability. It has empowered Mastriani to become a recognized leader in a historically male-dominated industry.

‍

Mastriani joined the company in 1996 after graduating from the University of Illinois with a bachelor’s degree in political science. Soon she began mastering the many skills needed to successfully manage all aspects of the business.

‍

Today, Mastriani works closely with the Company CEO and Founder, Chris Kemmerly, on strategic business planning, finance/budget management, new project selection and risk management. Her knowledge and experience in all facets of homebuilding operations have been an integral part of the company’s growth and success and has fostered the growth of the employees within the company.

‍

When asked about her professional mentors, Mastriani points to Kathy Wade, retired regional president of Standard Pacific Homes (now Lennar Homes), and Miramonte CEO Chris Kemmerly. She credits both Kemmerly and Wade with generously sharing their depth of homebuilding and management knowledge, and Kemmerly specifically for his recognition and support of Mastriani’s leadership potential.

‍

Mastriani is proud of Miramonte’s deep roots and strong relationships in southwestern and northern Arizona creating measurable benefits to those the company serves. She and her team understand firsthand how to effectively address the complexities a private production homebuilder faces in today’s challenging business environment.

‍

Most of all Mastriani is proud of the finished product Miramonte delivers — beautifully crafted, customized homes where lives are lived, and memories are made.

‍

When Mastriani is not at the office, or out in the field, she enjoys reading, traveling, and biking, hiking and swimming, even in Tucson’s legendary heat. She says the Tucson climate suits her perfectly and allows her to enjoy numerous activities with her friends and family.
