Experience You Can Build On

With deep roots in prestressed concrete, construction, and product innovation, our team is redefining what’s possible in outdoor building materials.

Thomas McEvoy

Founder & CEO

Building materials that actually hold up in the real world.

Tom’s career has been rooted in one question: what actually performs over time? From leading High Concrete, a premier prestressed concrete manufacturer, to working with U.S. Plastic Lumber, he saw firsthand where traditional and synthetic materials fall short. That perspective led to a simple but powerful realization - prestressed concrete could do far more than it was being used for.

LumberCon was built from that insight: bringing proven structural performance into applications like decking, docks, and outdoor structures where durability matters most.

What Tom brings to the team:

  • Leadership experience across global manufacturing and product development
  • Deep expertise in prestressed concrete systems and performance
  • A long-term mindset focused on durability, strength, and lifecycle value

Tom believes better materials should outlast the environments they’re built for.

Ken Baur

Engineering

Ensuring performance isn’t assumed - it’s proven.

Ken brings decades of engineering leadership and deep involvement in the standards that shape the precast concrete industry. Through his work with the Precast Concrete Institute, he has helped guide research, influence industry practices, and contribute to the technical benchmarks used across certified production facilities today.

From leading major research initiatives, including a $550,000 study on prestress bond in self-consolidating concrete, to advising on national committees, Ken’s work goes beyond theory. It directly impacts how materials are tested, validated, and trusted in real-world applications.

What Ken brings to the team:

  • Extensive expertise in prestressed concrete engineering and performance
  • Leadership in industry research, standards, and technical development
  • Multi-state licensed Professional Engineer (PA, MD, NY, NJ, DE)
  • LEED-accredited perspective on sustainable building practices

Ken is focused on making sure every claim is backed by real performance.

Randy Yeomans

Sales & Account Management

Connecting the right people with better building solutions.

Randy is on the front lines working with contractors, builders, architects, and engineers to introduce LumberCon and support projects from concept through construction. He understands the challenges each group faces and focuses on helping teams find solutions that not only work on paper, but perform in the real world.

Whether it’s answering technical questions, supporting product decisions, or helping move a project forward, Randy plays a key role in bridging the gap between design and build.

What Randy brings to the team:

  • Strong relationships across builders, architects, and engineers
  • Practical understanding of both design intent and job site realities
  • A hands-on, solutions-focused approach to project support

Randy knows the best materials are the ones everyone, from design to install, can trust.

Karli Yeomans

Marketing & Account Management

Bringing the story of better materials to the people who need them.

Karli leads marketing and customer engagement, focusing on building awareness around what makes LumberCon different and why it matters. From outreach to architects and contractors to shaping the brand’s voice, she helps connect the product’s performance with real-world applications and opportunities.

What Karli brings to the team:

  • Strategic marketing focused on education and awareness
  • Strong communication between customers, partners, and the team
  • A focus on making technical products feel approachable and clear

Karli believes the best products win when people truly understand them.

Brian Betz

Advisor

Bridging innovation with real-world building experience.

Brian brings a rare combination of hands-on construction knowledge and decades of experience introducing new materials to the market. With over 20 years in the wood-plastic composite (WPC) industry and additional experience in concrete, he has seen how products perform, not just in theory, but in real-world applications.

From manufacturing and distribution to actually building decks and boardwalks himself, Brian understands what builders need and what materials have to deliver. His perspective helps ensure LumberCon isn’t just innovative, it’s practical, usable, and built for the field.

What Brian brings to the team:

  • Deep experience in manufacturing, sales, and distribution
  • Firsthand knowledge of deck and boardwalk construction
  • A track record of launching new products into the building industry
  • American Concrete Institute certification and technical expertise

Brian is still happiest when he’s out building, not just talking about it.
