She was later promoted to vice president of environmental affairs, sustainability, and corporate responsibility at Weyerhaeuser. Sims earned a Bachelor of Arts in political science at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign before being awarded her Juris Doctor from Syracuse University College of Law.

Gary Fallon

Vice President

Attorney at Hillis Clark Martin & Peterson P.S.

About Gary

Gary has worked with a number of lender clients to develop efficient and cost-effective documentation for a wide range of lending activities, from individual residential transactions to large commercial projects. He has worked through the most complicated of real estate and C & I financings and has assisted clients with complex troubled loans, ranging from large multi-state residential construction workouts to the restructuring of downtown commercial and multi-family project financings. He takes pride in his ability to “get the deal done” by working efficiently and in a cooperative manner with all of the parties to a transaction.

Gary has been an attorney at HCMP since 1982, having arrived in Seattle from my native Buffalo, N.Y., following law school and college on the east coast. As dictated by the then-prevailing economic environment, he spent his first seven years dealing primarily with workout and bankruptcy matters. As the economy improved, he shifted to transactional work, mostly financing transactions and loan syndications. 

He has found that working through some troubled times has provided a great perspective on what’s really important when “push comes to shove” in a transaction. His early

experience has also proved to be a true resource in handling the restructuring and workout of troubled loans and, advising clients in creating effective strategies for realizing their security should a loan turn sour.

Lucas DeHerrera

Vice President

Blueprint Capital Services, LLC

About Lucas

I grew up a Navy brat (father) between northern California in my early age and moving to Bremerton at a young age. Always had a passion for sports, family, friends and music.

I left home at 17 and moved to Seattle with my brother, where I attended North Seattle Community College, working nights at Red Robin to pay for rent and school.

I was accepted to University of Washington in 2000 with a major in Sociology, where I also found passion for GIS and Urban Planning, which I was interested in immediately.  The social engineering of cities and the use/history of zoning fascinated me and still does today.

After graduating UW with honors in 2003 with a double major in Sociology and Community and Environmental Planning.  I interned with the City of Seattle starting in 2001 until I was eventually offered a full time job in 2003. I worked at DCLU/DPD for the next 12 years reviewing everything I could get my hands on from Single Family housing to downtown high-rises. I also changed disciplines in 2005 to learn the skill of discretionary Land Use decision making, including Short Plats, Design Review, Conditional uses, Full Subdivisions and SEPA. I also served as SPU’s designated planner, designated specifically to review their capital projects for a number of years. I moved back to zoning review around 2010 to become a Senior Planner. In 2015, I left the City for a change and to follow my desire to learn the private side of development, moving to Blueprint. At Blueprint, I focus on project feasibility, future code/policy’s effect on future projects and managing our architects along with the permit process to obtain permits to residential construction to serve our builders. My boss, Dan Duffus, was connected to Habitat for Humanity and wanted to help meet their goal of developing more in Seattle.  At the time Habitat was only in contract to develop the upcoming 16 townhouse units in Lake City. I believe I started getting involved with Habitat in 2017 and it started with the Lake City project and now I have been a member of the Real Estate Recommendation Committee since 2019, working with the team to offer professional assistance or references to build more units to help more people in need.  I have always wanted to give back and with Habitat, I can use my skills and connections to further Habitat’s mission. It really boils down to that feeling of home and giving hope to people/families that need and deserve it. I am honored to be a part of such a great and honorable organization that literally makes dreams come true. I currently live in Green Lake, with my wife Kim and our two boys Diego and Cruz.
