Michelle Connor

Business Equity Specialist

Since joining GLY in 2019 as a Project Coordinator, Michelle steadily assumed more and more responsibilities, eventually combining her personal interest in DEI with our clients' goals for trade equity. Naturally she signed up for our corporate DEI Committee, where she continues to make a valuable impact. As our Business Equity Specialist, Michelle provides project team guidance and support to achieve MWSBE and apprenticeship utilization goals, develops community engagement initiatives, and maintains ongoing community and industry involvement to deepen relationships within the public sector and ensure current knowledge of local, state, and federal regulation for adhering to contract requirements. When she’s not busy chasing her turbo-charged toddler, she’s dreaming up new book club picks that will either dazzle her coworkers or make them question her taste in literature.

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?

Joe Bonacci

CFO

When Joe joined GLY in 2016 as Director of Finance, he brought 15+ years of industry experience with him, along with a refreshing angle on the ideas of service, integrity, and value. In late 2018 he was named CFO. In this role he supports GLY’s ongoing pursuit of positive development and champions new technology to improve processes. A Chicago native, Joe still roots for the Cubs but is more likely to be seen on the soccer field or swimming bleachers cheering for his three daughters.

Dave McGovern

Director of Interiors+Special Projects

Dave has a background in both field supervision and construction management, a rarity that has resulted in a very loyal client base. He leads GLY’s Interiors + Special Projects division with enthusiasm, focusing exclusively on clients with specialized project needs—usually in response to change in the marketplace, in their business, or in supporting operations. 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.

Tim Grant

Principal+Senior Project Manager

P.E.

Tim spent the first part of his career as a professional structural engineer before arriving at GLY in 2011. He's since completed projects in an array of markets, from healthcare to hospitality, and a long list of high tech corporate campus facilities. On his current project, the University District Station Building, Tim and team are building a 13-story office tower atop Sound Transit's light rail station at NE 45th St and Brooklyn Ave. A former member of the UW track team, Tim traded in his running shoes for hiking boots, and enjoys exploring PNW trails with his wife and two sons.
