Cathy Decater

Project Accounting Manager

Cathy is a key player on our Accounting team, where her great smile and attitude make you happy to be talking about numbers. In her spare time, Cathy hangs out with her family, watches baseball [her sons all played college ball], works out, and bakes [especially if it involves chocolate]. Cathy also enjoys gardening, although not the deer, moles, and slugs that go with it.

Katie Focher

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.

Jesus Dorantes

Accounting Clerk

A Washington native with a Sociology degree from Washington State University, Jesus left the real estate industry for a career in construction. He loves all things media: film, TV, video games, and music. He makes a point of attending at least five concerts every year! He volunteers for local food banks and with Vote Save America, registering people to vote. Jesus says his favorite part of the job is observing how everyone works together to create amazing buildings in the Puget Sound Region.

Lauren Gregorich

Risk+Administrative Services Manager

Lauren spent the first ten years of her career working in the legal arena, starting out in the public sector, then transferring to the private. She now splits her time at GLY between supporting the risk management department and providing high-level administrative support to the executive team. Lauren and her family are sports fanatics and spend most weekends rooting for the Huskies and Seahawks. When they aren’t cheering on their teams, they spend as much time outside as possible: camping, fishing, hiking or enjoying walks with their rescue dog, Harry.
