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.

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.
