Layne brings a wealth of knowledge to our team. They hold a Masters degree from the former Green Mountain College in Resilient and Sustainable Communities, a Bachelors degree in Environmental Studies minoring in Sustainability as well as An Associates in Natural Resource Management and Policy. from Paul Smith's College. Layne’s career started in Land Use Planning and led them to Vermont where they worked in Zoning Administration. 
 
What Layne likes most about working in the building industry is being able to see an idea on paper transformed into a physical structure in the community. They enjoy putting all the puzzle pieces together to figure out how to make that happen. Layne is inspired by the diversity of projects and the collaborative team environment at Lewis Creek. They are passionate about the value the organization places on working collaboratively with homeowners to achieve their vision for their home, without pushing a standard sample model or cookie cutter solutions.

Lanye is from Kingsbury, in upstate New York, and currently lives in Waterbury with their partner, Sarah. They think living in Waterbury is awesome because it is centrally located to everything they love to do. Layne followed their career over the NY/VT border in 2016, but stayed for the community they found here (plus the views aren't half bad either). In their spare time they enjoy playing rugby, broomball, softball, bowling, and taking their pup The Dude (yes, that’s a Big Lebowski reference) on adventures.
