He had previously served as the president of GMK’s architecture, engineering, and construction services divisions. In addition to his current responsibilities as the firm’s chief executive, Mr. Baker’s experience has included oversight and management of multiple large-scale building programs for a series of school districts across the Carolinas and Georgia and has met with outstanding success in growing GMK’s design and construction operations across all three states.
