Luke Comer – President, Project Manager
Luke grew up around construction and began working in the industry in 2003. Helping to pay for his college education, Luke worked in the field as a laborer, being exposed to what construction had to offer amongst the working trades, and gaining valuable hands-on experience. After college, Luke began working as a project engineer, assisting in the other side of completing a project. He learned to manage contracts and other administrative items – such as RFI’s, ASI’s and change management – which taught him the importance of organization and the interrelationships between all construction-related processed.
Having been exposed to all aspects of completing a project, Luke has grasped the importance of each part of the construction process. His interest in building positive, trusting, working relationships lead him to obtain a degree in psychology which, along with his construction experience, has been a key contributor in successful completion of these projects. This success, along with experience, allowed Luke to grow into a strong project manager in the construction industry. Luke feels that a project’s success correlates directly to having these positive and trusting relationships amongst the entire project team.
Luke lives in Mill Creek, WA, with his wife Katrina and their three children, Beckett, Ryleah and Dylan. When away from the jobsite, you can find Luke on a nearby soccer field with one of his three children, coaching or cheering them on from the sidelines.
Tim Comer – CEO, Superintendent
Tim’s wealth of experience has lead him to gain tremendous experience in the construction industry, of which he has shared in helping train many of his peers. Taking the lead with a “boots on the ground” front line mentality has served the projects he’s been involved in, as well as contributed to his personal career experience. Having worked on so many challenging projects (former nation wide firm Mortenson), Tim eventually ventured out and became a founder of local builder here in the Pacific NW (Cornerstone General Contractors), which quickly grew into a premier school builder. Tim’s passion for construction made it hard for him to stay away and following a short break, teamed up with his son, Luke to start up COMER GC. Tim’s years of leading projects is a great asset in helping oversee the company and their current workload.
Jon Scofield – Superintendent
Jon was introduced into the construction industry at a young age, gravitating to all it had to offer. In 2002, he joined a local home builder as a laborer. While being part of a company that built custom residential homes, he realized the drive and passion he wanted for a career in the construction industry.
In 2008, Jon started working for a local commercial GC, where he was initially hired on as a laborer but grew into the position of a being a lead carpenter foreman, as his ability to lead and solve problems stood out. Jon values excellent communication skills, quality work, and trust between clients and co-workers. He has been able to approach and complete projects with positive and direct leadership. He strives to perform exceptional quality in various types of construction tasks.
Being successful in teamwork and leadership, Jon joined COMER GC as a superintendent. His ability to recognize and react to problems before they become issues has become a staple of his career. His experience operating on occupied school campuses is a testament to his ability to coordinate with various individuals while maintaining great professional relationships. He takes much pride in seeing his projects through to completion. Jon lives in Renton with his wife Jessica and their miniature Doberman pinscher, Tonka.
