Over the years, Tyson has learned that this business is not so much about driving nails and placing concrete as it is about working with people to build relationships, which leads to the building of trust. It’s about communicating openly and honestly with clients, as well as team members and subcontractors. And it’s about putting egos aside to solve problems in a positive, professional manner. This has always been the McCormack approach and what you can expect whether you’re a client, subcontractor, supplier, or employee.

Tyson was born and raised in Pendleton. He serves on several local boards and committees and will become the new Pendleton Chamber of Commerce President in 2023. He feels that local involvement and support are very important, and when feasible gives back to the community that has given him so much over the years.

Some of Tyson’s passions include hunting outdoors or spending time with his wife Megan and their two kids, Reese and Reid.
