Superintendent
Ever wonder if a Superintendent gets tired of scheduling? Just ask Reed! After more than 37 years in the industry, he still loves solving each new puzzle. A GLY veteran with a deep resume, he’s done it all from high-tech office buildings to heavy site civil work—mentoring up-and-coming field supervisors along the way. Outside the jobsite, he works on his collection of muscle cars and unwinds in the outdoors with fishing and hunting.
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.

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!
