2025 GLY Construction, Inc.

Bryce Engen

MEP+CX Manager

LEED AP BD+C, BCXA CCP

Bryce is a mechanical systems and commissioning expert and a self-described Swiss army knife. He gets involved during preconstruction assisting with MEP scopes of work. During construction, he becomes hyper focused on QA/QC processes and procedures. On the back end of the job he develops closeout and inspection schedules and plans for startup and commissioning. He is a passionate alumnus of Washington State University, where he studied Construction Management, and minored in Business. His wife, two kids, two dogs, and Macaw parrot keep life busy but fun. Their latest achievement? Building a house together!

HCC

Jon attributes his appreciation of craft and hard work to working as a carpenter for a Spokane-based general contractor while earning a BS in Construction Management from Washington State University. Since joining GLY in 1999, he’s honed his expertise as a healthcare and high-tech office project manager and team builder. When he’s not piecing together complex logistics plans, you’ll find Jon cheering on the Seattle Sounders or casting a line. If he could talk his wife into selling everything and living in a trailer down by the river, he’d be there already.

Laura Ovsak

Project Manager

RA, AIA, LEED Green Associate

Laura joined the GLY team in 2017 after spending five years with architecture and engineering design teams. Her varied design experience provides a deep understanding of the design process, and a fluency in the design language. Having worn many hats at GLY, she has developed a diverse skillset, carrying many projects through their phases. Laura recently completed the process of becoming a licensed architect!

Brian Sandall

Superintendent

LEED Green Associate

Brian’s 30+ year career includes many of GLY’s most recognizable healthcare projects. He will do whatever it takes to keep clients happy and is known to keep a stash of chocolate hard hats on hand for hospital staff just in case. If you’ve ever met Brian, you know he operates under the Golden Rule every single day, making him a favorite to work with. Brian spends many weekends looking for a thrill—from riding off road on the dunes with his wife and son to taking flight lessons—with no plans to slow down any time soon.
