Senior Project Manager
Organized, decisive, and driven, Josh approaches every project with a clear understanding of the client and company’s needs. His favorite part about his position is that no two projects are ever alike, as he is a person who enjoys overcoming the hurdles of a project from start to finish. Quite fitting to his problem–solving nature, he enjoys classic games that require lots of thought and strategy, from chess to backgammon to cribbage. Outside of work he also stays busy coaching youth baseball, softball, basketball, and his son’s Little League All-Star Team, who made it to the State Championship in 2024!

Project Executive
Assoc. DBIA™
Ben honed his exceptional leadership skills during his first calling as a high school English teacher, coach, and director of admissions. Patient, communicative, and adaptable to change, the AEC industry scored big when he decided to switch gears and earn another degree, this time in Civil Engineering. Progressing from Project Engineer to Project Executive at GLY, he continues to leverage his diverse background—listening intently to clients and teammates prior to making critical decisions. Hailing from Western New York, where cows outnumber residents, Ben remains a loyal Buffalo sports fan—Go Sabres and Bills!

General Foreman
A true self-starter, Bill's claim that he can fix just about anything is backed by a lifetime of hands-on experience. His passion for building began at age 8, assembling bicycles, and continued through his teenage years, when he built cars and fabricated metal frames. By 21, he had entered the trades, laying the foundation for a successful career in construction supervision. Outside of work, Bill enjoys fishing and traveling the world with his wife.

Senior Construction Engineer
Jeff’s building career began in 1995 and he’s simply one of the best when it comes to complex structures; it’s been said that he’s memorized every detail of every sheet of every project he’s worked on. Plus, he’s repeatedly recognized by his teammates as an exceptional mentor. He holds a BS in Construction Management from Central Washington University. Off the jobsite, Jeff’s an adventurous spirit who enjoys time with family and friends, traveling, boating, snowmobiling, off roading, fishing, and hunting in the remote wilderness.

Tess has built her career at GLY, from humble beginnings as an intern, advancing steadily to a promotion in 2019 to firm principal. She is a dedicated, selfless leader who pays careful attention to every project’s specific vision, technical complexities, and goals. Tess is very effective at coordinating the efforts of design professionals, construction teams, corporate stakeholders, and owners while integrating various service providers into project delivery. She chairs GLY’s internal DEI committee, which focuses on social equity education, employee engagement, and strategies to improve diversity and inclusion on GLY’s projects. Her three young sons inspire her daily to feel empowered, to work hard, and to make time for fun.

Superintendent
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.
