Jeremy Lawson
Construction Manager

When Jeremy isn’t rehabbing HONK homes, you can find him running marathons, hiking, camping, or spending time with his wife Cara and their three kids. Jeremy says the most inspiring part of his job is “getting to see the houses after clients move in. Seeing pictures on the wall and furniture in the rooms make the houses feel like homes.”

Gina Snavley
Housing Counselor

Gina has over 20 years of experience working in the nonprofit sector! When she’s not helping HONK clients on their homeownership journey, she’s likely serving at Ida Spence Mission or enjoying time with her family.

Ainsley MacDougal
Marketing and Community Outreach Manager

Ainsley started at HONK in Aug. 2024. When she’s not chasing after her 3-year-old son, she’s probably on a run or singing at a local bar. So far, her favorite part about HONK is the powerful and singular mission that drives it.
