Kelly Headden
Executive Vice President & COO
AIA, NCARB
Kelly has been at Barber McMurry for three decades, with experience in some of the firm's largest, most complex, and highly-detailed projects. He has always been a perfectionist. There's a persistent rumor that Kelly had two coloring books as a child — one for him and one for friends — to avoid arguments with those who had a “freestyle” approach with Crayolas. Kelly and his wife, Dana, have two great sons, Garrett and Elliott. Kelly enjoys art, woodworking, fly fishing, and golf. He treasures time outdoors, especially moments colored by firelight with friends, a good cigar, a beverage, and good stories.
