Previously the firm’s Lead Project Manager, Amshey replaces Bill Ogden, who retired in December after 40 years with O-A-K.

“I am honored that the Board selected me to serve in this role,” said Amshey, “working closely with Bill Ogden for years I’ve learned what it takes to be successful in an ever-changing industry. We have a great group of people here at O-A-K and I’m eager to see what the future holds.”
