Layne made the move to our Annapolis office in February of 2014 to head up our operations there. He has overseen the growth of a one truck and small office to five truck operation with a new much larger operating facility. This has happened through hands on work and results focused goals while developing talent in several key positions in the Annapolis office. He looks forward to the challenges that lay ahead as we continue to have growth in our business and creating new roles for future team members.  Layne resides in Annapolis. He is a big college football fan and despite the Mountaineers of West Virginia being his favorite team he has adopted the Navy Midshipman as an easy second favorite team.
