Often described as the “World's Best Dad”, Lyon, a critical thinker who is trustworthy and reliable, went to Lower Columbia College. Lyon started construction when he was 17 and would leave school every day at noon to work. The influence of his grandfather and father who were both carpenters initially got Lyon into the industry.
His job involves him working with subcontractors and homeowners, and often finds himself doing custom work for our clients. We are grateful to have Lyon on our team to help build dream homes for other people.
