Dennis Sizemore

Cement Mason Superintendent

Dennis is the go-to guy on anything and everything concrete. At age 15, he poured and finished driveways, patios, and shop slabs. When he started at GLY at 18, he was the youngest journeyman in his union. Today, he's a concrete master who oversees projects up to one million square feet. His favorite aspect of the job is the constant change of scenery since he's not on one single project for an extensive amount of time. While concrete is a big part of Dennis’s life, he makes plenty of room for his kids, fishing, hiking, and visiting Kauai, his happy place.

Logan Chun

Senior Preconstruction Engineer

LEED Green Associate, CESPL

Logan brings his personal obsession with timelines and coordination to his career in Preconstruction. He is a person who likes to take immediate action, because as he describes it: "In Preconstruction, success is built on momentum". To maintain this focus, Logan tracks three key wins in a daily journal–instilling the habit of keeping a project progressing and on track. This is an excellent tool for keeping him motivated and passionate, and he finds these "small wins" to be his favorite part about working in this industry. Weather permitting, you can find Logan enjoying his spare time outdoors, whether it's hiking excursions, camping, boating, soccer matches, fishing trips, or snowboarding.

Andrew Ellis

Design Manager

AIA, Assoc. DBIA™

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!
