Dave McGovern
Director of Interiors+Special Projects
Dave has a background in both field supervision and construction management, a rarity that has resulted in a very loyal client base. He leads GLY’s Interiors + Special Projects division with enthusiasm, focusing exclusively on clients with specialized project needs—usually in response to change in the marketplace, in their business, or in supporting operations. He strongly identifies with GLY’s value of Invest in Each other and has a passion for mentoring we think is pretty amazing. Construction aside, Dave is first and foremost a family man devoted to his wife and daughters.

Brad and his family spend their leisure time exploring the world and tackling daunting athletic challenges.
Katie Focher
Senior Project Accountant
Katie ventured west from Missoula, Montana to attend Central Washington University where she majored in recreation and tourism and played softball. We love having a ringer on the GLY softball team! When she’s not managing the books for GLY projects she likes to golf, hike, go wine tasting, and watch the Mariners. Her bucket list includes a trip to every MLB stadium, minus Yankee Stadium.
Kyle Morgan
Project Executive
LEED Green Associate
Kyle joined the GLY team immediately after earning a BS in Construction Management from the University of Washington in 2006. His honesty and affability have been a mainstay, and he takes a forthright approach to resolving issues and ensuring client satisfaction. After all these years, he still looks forward the unique challenges that come with each individual project and appreciates that no two days are ever alike. While things keep him on his toes at the jobsite, Kyle unwinds by listening to his favorite CDs and records or going to live concerts. Music just sounds better when it’s an experience!

As the youngest of six, her experience with juggling multiple personalities is put to good use in HR!

Jeff Crawford
Principal+Senior Project Manager
Jeff has award-winning attention to detail—literally—he was once recognized for creating the longest RFI ever written by a Project Engineer. Despite a background in design, which includes a BA in Architectural Studies from the University of Washington, Jeff discovered an organizer and planner role fit him best, so he turned his focus to managing the construction process. He joined GLY in 2006, applying his dual strengths in design and project management to our healthcare and life science projects. Away from work, Jeff enjoys playing basketball, running, and hiking with his family.
