Wayne Myrick began his construction career in the late 60s working in general construction before becoming a self-employed residential contractor from 1973 to 1977. After serving as superintendent and project manager for various Birmingham Alabama contractors, he worked for a decade with Harbert Construction International, rising from superintendent to Vice President of Construction. In 1993, Wayne started what is today Myrick, Gurosky & Associates. MG&A specializes in the Design/Build project delivery process for religious-related projects all over the southeast and beyond.

Wayne’s real foundation was a personal and committed relationship with Jesus Christ. A long-time member of Hunter Street Baptist Church in Hoover, Alabama, he served continuously in key roles at the church: Sunday School Superintendent, Deacon (and chairman of Deacons), Sunday School Teacher, Peacemaker Ministry Leader, and Mission team leader. In 1999, Wayne was selected as Stand Firm Magazine’s “Co-Man of the Year”. Wayne also served on the Foundation Board at Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky and as a member on the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention representing Alabama. His wife Lynn lives in Vestavia Hills, Alabama. They have three adult children and a granddaughter and grandson.
