Melanie Cochrun

Director of Marketing+Communications

CPSM

A healthy dose of serendipity led Melanie from the Peace Corps third world to the A/E/C integrated world, where she discovered a love for working with the people behind the concrete. Nearly 20 years later, she is contributing and receiving ideas and inspiration for marketing, communicating, and developing business as the Director of Marketing + Communications at GLY! A self-described thinker, linker, and obstacle shrinker, Melanie likes to approach her work with these three questions: Who is our audience? What do they need? How can we reach them and develop trust?

Bryce Taylor

Director of Business Development

LEED Green Associate

Always on the go, Bryce is involved in numerous industry organizations, extraordinary community service efforts, and he manages some of GLY’s larger projects. Bryce focuses on relationships, costs, and schedules—moving the team forward at a faster rate while keeping a watchful eye on design intent, sustainability, and life cycle goals. Along with his wife and son, he enjoys skiing, biking, searching for new and unusual places.

Jose Ramos

Assistant Superintendent

Jose manages the day-to-day activities of a construction site with an infectious positive, can-do attitude. Jose’s obvious dedication to his work, the team, and the client makes him a valuable, well-respected, and influential leader on the jobsite

Brian Sandall

Superintendent

LEED Green Associate

Brian has worked on many of GLY’s most recognizable healthcare projects and goes out of his way to make sure clients are happy, even keeping a stash of chocolate hard hats on hand for hospital staff just in case. When he’s not building at work, he’s building at home and recently completed an addition to his house. Brian spends many weekends riding off road on the dunes with his wife and son and have no plans to slow down any time soon.

Dave Snaring

Senior Project Manager

HCC

After 35+ years working in the built environment, Dave knows how to plan, estimate, and deliver just about anything. He manages healthcare and life science projects and is also known to step in when high-tech or corporate office projects have unique requirements. He holds a BS in Building Construction from the University of Washington, and an ASHE Health Care Construction certificate. A local in every sense of the word, the bays and rivers of the PNW are his playground. When the catching’s good [as it often is for Dave], he makes a killer canned smoked salmon.

Brad Hughes

Senior Project Engineer

PE

Brad is a licensed Civil Engineer with a BSCE from Gonzaga University, but after a few years working in that discipline in Denver, he returned to the PNW to earn a Construction Management certificate from the University of Washington and joined GLY in 2008. His technical engineering skills continue to serve him well in his role as a Senior Project Engineer. He excels in coordinating structural work and large tenant build-outs for healthcare, residential, hospitality, and office high-rise projects. Brad and his family spend their leisure time exploring the world and tackling daunting athletic challenges.

Mike Martel

Project Manager

Associate DBIA™, LEED AP BD+C

Mike joined GLY in 2013 as a Project Engineer and has steadily increased his responsibilities, becoming a Project Manager in 2020. He holds a BS in Construction Management from the University of Washington, where he later returned to earn a Commercial Real Estate Certificate. That’s just one example of Mike’s passion for continuous learning—and sharing with his teammates. He’s especially versed in the latest developments in 3D modeling and navigating the complex processes of advanced BIM visualization. After a long week at work, Mike burns off steam by running, cycling, and skiing.

Garrick Hughes

Principal+Senior Project Manager

LEED AP BD+C

Garrick’s career at GLY has mirrored the growth of the tech industry. You could say South Lake Union has become his second home—he’s helped manage multiple phases of the growing Amazon.com campus. Bringing an intellectual approach to leadership, Garrick is known for his dedication to pushing on tired conventions of the industry, collaborating with others to create new ways to improve efficiency, eliminate waste, and reduce cost. A Northwest Native, he’s involved in several local community and professional organizations, and never misses an opportunity for an outdoor adventure, exploring mountains with his wife, two daughters, and son.
