October is , and we're spending it spotlighting the people who make every project possible. First up: meet Hayden Tilley, Project Manager at White-Spunner Construction!
Hayden's love for building started as a kid with tractors and Tonka trucks, and that curiosity carried him straight into Auburn University's Building Science program. After graduating in 2017, he spent five years with a major electrical subcontractor in Birmingham working on large-scale healthcare projects across the Southeast before joining our team in 2023.
Today, Hayden manages several Home Depot projects. As a Project Manager, he owns the budget, schedule, and contracts, and keeps owners, trade partners, and field teams moving in the same direction so his superintendents have everything they need to keep pushing forward.
What drives Hayden is the team behind every build, coming together with one goal to create something that leaves a lasting mark on a community. His proudest project yet is the Inverness, FL Home Depot, a job that's tested his team with offsite scope, county requirements, weather delays, and constant schedule pressure. As he puts it: "Inverness has been one of the most challenging projects we've taken on, but it's also one that I believe will make us the most proud when we cross the finish line."
Off the jobsite, Hayden is a husband to Sally and dad to Meredith, with a second daughter, Mary Claire, arriving this November. You'll find him golfing, fishing, running, or serving in leadership with JH Outback in Mobile, and grabbing a bite at Kingfishers or Master Joe's in Fairhope.
Thankful to have Hayden building alongside us!
