Since joining MEB in 2020, Gary has been a key leader in delivering some of the company’s most technically demanding heavy civil projects for the Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard (NNSY). Gary has overseen the planning and delivery of large-scale, technically demanding projects such as P678 Dry Dock 8 Saltwater System for CVN-78 and P653 Dry Dock Flood Protection Improvements. His leadership, technical expertise, and commitment to collaboration have earned the trust of both his team and clients.

“Gary has taken on some of MEB’s most difficult projects in the shipyard and has built a team that works with the owner to find solutions to all problems,” said David Ervin, President. “He excels at planning and executing the work and maintaining the schedule. Gary is on track to complete two projects ahead of schedule.”
Tim Griffin, Vice President, Civil & Environmental, shared, “When Gary started at MEB, he immediately took on the challenge of managing projects at NNSY. Through consistent execution and delivery, Gary has proven himself to be a leader of high-performing projects and built tremendous trust with his team, our leadership, and project owners. As he prepares to deliver MEB’s largest project to date well ahead of the required completion date, there is no doubt that Gary is ready to assume the role of Project Executive.”

Gary credits his success to the people around him and the teamwork that drives each project. One of his proudest moments came during a challenging underwater operation that required setting massive precast intake structures atop piles driven underwater with exceptional precision. The process demanded coordination across every level of the project team, from planning to execution. “From clamshelling the cofferdam to driving the piles, setting and securing the precast, sealing, and incorporating into the pump station, the entire operation went nearly flawlessly,” Gary said. “The attention to detail required to accomplish this from all parties, craft to supers to engineers, was genuinely impressive.”

He describes the P678 Dry Dock 8 project as particularly rewarding. “All the various complex activities done in tight conditions under tight schedules have been demanding but watching the team thrive all the while has made the past few years very rewarding,” Gary said. “I’m looking forward to continuing to grow the project team and to tackle more complex projects.”
Gary will continue to lead projects in MEB’s heavy civil division with the same energy, technical skill, and dedication that have defined his career. Congratulations again to Gary on his promotion!
