# Jamey Vumback

> Jamey Vumback is the San Diego-based founder and CEO of Get The Referral, a referral-software company born from a tracking problem inside his own solar business. After progressing from field work to sales leadership at AT&T and then becoming a home-services operator, he built a branded app to make customer referrals visible, rewardable, and repeatable. GTR launched in 2014 and later appeared on the 2023 Inc. 5000, while Vumback has continued to argue that contractors should treat customer trust as an operating system rather than leave it to chance.
