DGC TEAM
Daniel Turner
Operations Manager
With much of his youth spent in the field working numerous construction trades throughout the Midwest, Dan’s undergraduate studies in Construction Management at OSU eventually led him toward management-level positions. In his thirty-five years of experience, Dan has worked in mortgage banking as a National Account Manager, a Project Manager for high-end residential and multi-family developments, and as a Site Superintendent for custom residential, TI and boutique commercial projects throughout Southern California. A virtual walking encyclopedia, Dan’s ability to source, implement, design and problem-solve are unparalleled. Not only is Dan the backbone of Dirty Girl Construction’s safety and field operations, he is valuable resource and interface for Dirty Girl’s development and investment clients.
During Dan’s free time, he fancies listening to vinyl records, restoring antique electronics and corralling his three dogs, cat and school of tropical fish.
Cat Gray
Project Manager
As problem-solver extraordinaire, Cat comes equipped with the ability to set things in motion. After earning her Arts degree in Film Production at the Brooks Institute of Photography in Santa Barbara, she segued into a marketing career, leading event teams and designing advertising collateral for Fortune 500 companies in the fashion and food industries. Cat’s production expertise—both logistically and artistically—coupled with a calm temperament and detailed eye, has birthed the ideal project manager for DGC. Though her life may have been simpler as a boom operator, she relishes her new role as first point of contact and master of the firm’s workflow.
Cat dedicates her personal time to making a change in the world, whether through rallies, fundraisers, or community events—her teenage daughter in tow. Her favorite pastimes include hoarding vinyl records, handcrafting, and cooking up delicious foodstuffs—some of which luckily end up in the bellies of her co-workers!
Hope Brothers
Associate – Interior Designer
Hope has over twenty years experience in residential and commercial Interior Design. She attended Bradley Academy for the Visual Arts, majoring in Interior Design, and received her Associate Degree in Specialized Technology in 1997. Post-college projects included the likes of Old Navy and Rite-Aid during her tenure with Charles E. Broudy & Associates, Ewing Cole and Ballinger Interior Design through 2005. Hope went on to work as an Interior Designer for Snaidero until 2007, after which she became the President and Design Director for Bellus Kitchen Design Studio in Santa Monica through 2011. Since then, as an independent contractor, she has added her skill set to a handful of high-end design firms. Her experience in all phases of design and documentation, from conception to construction, make her an integral part of Dirty Girl’s Design-Build team. Along with receiving her LEED A.P. in 2004, Hope has won awards in both environmental and conceptual design.
When she can get away, Hope likes to visit family on the East Coast or travel to the Dominican Republic with her husband and daughter. Boxing is also a hobby—she may be small, but the lady can pack a punch!
