The story behind Donum

Built for the family I’m building.

I’m Jess Hancock. Donum Holdings LLC is the company I started when everything in my life was changing. Donum Services is the name you’ll see when I’m out doing the work.

Donum means “gift” in Latin. I chose it because the child my wife and I are expecting is exactly that.

How it started

A new family.
A new direction.

Jess and his wife on their wedding day in Colorado — Our wedding day · June 2026

In June 2026, I got married. In July, my wife and I found out we were having our first child. At the same time, I was playing my fifth year of college football. I knew I needed to think seriously about how I would provide for my growing family.

On July 20, 2026, I started Donum Holdings LLC. Then I took a risk and bought my first house to renovate and sell. Not long after, I took another bet on myself and bought a dump trailer. That gave me a way to take on junk removal and property cleanup work, too.

I’m still early in this journey. Every project is a chance to do good work, learn, and keep building a future for my family.
