Senior Design Engineer
RA, LEED AP BD+C, Associate DBIA™
Andrew spent 14 years immersed in his original calling: Architecture. He found that the most enjoyable and rewarding moments occurred while collaborating with builders. Deciding to blend two passions together—design and construction—Andrew now leverages robust VDC tools to better understand, communicate, and help execute a project’s design intent. Simply put, he constructs the building virtually to iron out any wrinkles before it’s built in the field. Outside the office, Andrew can’t get enough of the mountains. The numbers speak for themselves. He’s made his way to the summit of Mount Rainier via 16 different routes!
Superintendent
As a second generation carpenter, Garth turned out to be a Jr. in more ways than one. Today Garth is a hard-working Superintendent who enjoys building challenges across sectors, from housing to commercial construction. Garth takes a very thorough, caring approach to getting things done on his projects, and enjoys the outdoor life in his spare time—especially riding dirt bikes, camping or doing anything on or near the water.

Besides loving his job, he’s an inspiring volunteer, mentor, football fan, outdoorsman and family man.
QA/QC Superintendent
LEED AP, Associate DBIA™
Brian spent his first six years in the industry working on civil, large commercial and Sound Transit projects, starting his career as a Project Engineer. When he joined GLY, he immediately dove into the Lincoln Square Expansion, one of GLY’s largest projects to-date, and found his true calling as a Superintendent. When he’s not working on projects that change city skylines, he and his wife, Laure, venture into the great outdoors. In between his fly fishing, skiing, and motorcycling adventures, he visits his family as much as possible in Central Oregon and Montana.
Superintendent
Final: Over the last 30 years, Donovan’s appreciation for quality craftsmanship combined with his natural ability to manage the many moving parts and pieces of a construction jobsite from start to finish has garnered trust and respect from GLY employees, trade partners, and clients. From interior build-outs to full campus developments, he approaches each project by tapping into each team member’s strengths, talents, and skillsets to develop a thoughtful plan—together. Witnessing that plan unfold successfully is his favorite part of his job. On the home front, there is never a dull moment with his four kids, granddaughter, and three dogs—each bringing joy to the family with their own unique personalities. Skylar, the littlest pup, runs the pack.
