Zack Secrest

In memory of

We forever hold in memory, our former Vice President of Operations, Zack Secrest.   He passed away in his sleep on November 27th, 2012 from complications with epilepsy.

Zack motivated our team to achieve extraordinary project and individual success.  During his six years at Ausland he helped accomplish spectacular growth and success on Southern Oregon’s top projects.  He was our friend, a mentor, a colleague, and had become family to many of us.

In his personal life, Zack was a member of the BMX community for over 30 years, racing at BMX tracks throughout the U.S. and Canada.  He was a fierce competitor and mentor to many in the racing community.

We move forward grateful for six years we spent with Zack, and are dedicated to accomplishing extraordinary success in his legacy.

Rest in Peace.
