Brian Caudle

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.

Amanda Smith

Yard Coordinator

As a young girl Amanda lived in Hawaii, where a large portion of her family is Native Hawaiian. After moving to Monroe, Washington she spent her high school years in Mansfield, a small town in eastern Washington. She worked for local trucking company before joining GLY, driving HM350 Haul Trucks around jobsites to load onto lowboy trailers, or she calls them, giant Tonka trucks! As part of GLY’s tool and equipment team, she enjoys supporting Jobs from the ground up and watching as the build happens. Amanda and her husband originally met in middle school and later reconnected. Now you’ll find them riding dirt bikes with their kids and spending time exploring the PNW in their Jeep.

Laura Soma

Sustainability Manager

LEED AP BD+C

It’s no wonder that Laura’s passion is helping people find their potential. She’s worked hard to creatively forge her own career path and achieve her goals. She is active in a number of industry groups and peer networks focused on green building and leads GLY’s internal sustainability efforts. Her background as a Project Manager allows her to connect with clients and project teams to drive sustainability project goals while keeping budget and schedule at the forefront. Laura brings her love of responsible practices [and infectious good spirits] to every project.

He also holds a Real Estate Development Certificate from the University of Washington. After joining GLY in 2014, he worked primarily on commercial office projects before becoming a Project Manager on our Interiors + Special Projects team [ISP]. His unique background gives him the ability to understand every aspect of a project regardless of size or scope. He is always up for a challenge—just ask him about his latest extreme ironing endeavor.

Joaquin Aburto

General Foreman

Joaquin approaches each day on the jobsite with a people-first attitude, emphasizing the importance of a collaborative team culture in finding efficient solutions and creating a learning environment for everyone. One of his favorite aspects of construction is that he leaves each workday having learned something new from his teammates. When he’s not out in the field, you can find Joaquin adventuring in the PNW with his 5 kids.

Sarah Cunningham

Foreman

As a field supervisor, Sarah is known for always thinking ahead and looking out for everyone’s best interest. She enjoys the camaraderie on the jobsite and the pride that comes from persevering and building something together. A recent project of Sarah's featured a major geothermal energy system, and she used that experience to teach others at GLY about geothermal energy and how different types of systems can be used. Her hobbies include hiking, cycling, gardening, and traveling the world every chance she gets. But her favorite thing? Golden Retrievers!
