John Payne, EI
Design Engineer/Most likely to spell your name wrong

Hailing from the western part of NC, John was born, raised, and educated around Charlotte. His structural professors in college pointed him towards this as a career. He heard Anna speak on campus and the rest, as they say, is history. Joining our Charlotte team before he’d even received his degree, John quickly made his mark at LM continuing to grow each and every day.

John enjoys keeping his parents’ ‘76 Ford Bronco running–which sometimes feels like another full time job. What keeps him running is a little taste of his favorite dessert–moose tracks ice cream. When you meet him, ask John about his first solo deer hunting trip and the reason he ended up tree’d into the evening. So wait, BBQ, broncos, moose, deer…do you see a pattern for John emerging?
