A mentor to our superintendents and crew supervisors, and creative problem-solver, John continues to infuse his projects with the highest and most innovative level of service.
Brian Sandall
Superintendent
LEED Green Associate
Brian’s 30+ year career includes many of GLY’s most recognizable healthcare projects. He will do whatever it takes to keep clients happy and is known to keep a stash of chocolate hard hats on hand for hospital staff just in case. If you’ve ever met Brian, you know he operates under the Golden Rule every single day, making him a favorite to work with. Brian spends many weekends looking for a thrill—from riding off road on the dunes with his wife and son to taking flight lessons—with no plans to slow down any time soon.
Lauren Gallagher
Project Engineer
Born and raised in Mercer Island and a graduate of University of Washington, Lauren is truly a local and proud to call Seattle her home. After earning her BS in Construction Management, she immediately joined GLY to do what she loves most: build! Focused and confident, Lauren never misses a beat even during the busiest phases of a project. Her keen eye for detail also never waivers, but this comes naturally to her. It is no surprise that her first job was performing quality control checks at a pear orchard.

Mark’s expertise in large-scale ground-up or tenant improvement projects made him a welcome addition to GLY, where he operates as a consummate team player and skilled estimator. When he’s not busy spending time with his daughter and stepsons, you’ll find him kicking around a soccer ball, running, golfing, bicycling, or hiking with his chocolate lab.
Cassie Withrow
Executive Administrator
Excellent customer service comes naturally to Cassie, who approaches every task with a can-do attitude.

She manages her time—and many others’—with extraordinary ease and keeps things running like a well-oiled machine. Outside the office, you’ll find Cassie hiking, exploring the city, and when the sun comes out, boating on Lake Washington—all with her husband and pups by her side.
