We begin this year with by welcoming and congratulating the new staff of officers to oversee the Western Washington Chapter of the International Codes Council.  The officers of the Western Washington Chapter of the International Code Council are all actively engaged in the building profession.  

Dave Leahy — Past President:  Dave spent 18 years in commercial construction before getting involved with code enforcement.  He has 12 years of Building Code experience, with the last 7 years a a combination Building Inspector and Plans Reviewer with the City of Kent.  He has been actively involved with this Chapter for the past 13 years, during which he has been active on some of the committees and held various Office positions.  Dave strongly believes in the importance of the Chapter and how it can strengthen the safety of construction throughout this area by working and learning together to enforce the Codes.
Allen Johannessen — President:  In November of 2004, Allen Johannessen hired on as plans examiner for the City of Tukwila. Allen worked in the construction industry for 35 plus years as supervisor for several construction companies throughout the northwestern states. Prior to becoming a plans examiner for the City of Tukwila, Allen owned his own construction company for over ten years.

Clark Watters — Vice President:  For the past ten years Clark Watters has been a building inspector and plans examiner for the City of Federal Way.  His previous experience was with Mason County as a Plans Examiner .  He has 17 years experience in the industry, of which he spent 9 involved with the chapter and is a past chapter secretary.  Before involvement in the building industry, Clark ran his own business; Wet Pets Fish & Aquarium. 

 

Kelly Tally — Executive Vice President:  Biography not available.

Sandy Gravseth — Treasurer:  For five years Sandy Gravseth was actively involved with the construction industry, of which the last three have been with Pierce County where she is a Permit Tech.  Before that she was a Gig Harbor realtor.  But her industry experience dates back to her first job; running blue prints for The Design Center – her fathers Lakewood business.   Chapter involvement lets her actively participate in the industry and share in the wealth of knowledge the industry offers.  Her hobbies and passions include camping, team sports, and all things boating and water.

Fernando Fernandez — Secretary:  For over the past 13 years, Fernando Fernandez has watched the City of Federal Way grow from it’s infancy to its current stature.  His current position is as one of its’ plans examiners/building inspectors, but has previously been employed as a land use tech and as a development specialist.  He has been a chapter member for the past three years and sees the chapter as vital in promoting awareness of the many facets of code enforcement in the building industry.  This is his first position as a chapter officer.  His favorite hobby is bass fishing.
