Andy Crum's Bio
I am grateful to have a family who shared Jesus Christ with me. There is not a day I can remember not knowing Him and for that I am grateful. He is the constant thread through all my life and this business that gives me balance, perspective and a love for those around me. In our work with Beacon, Eric and I want to make sure we have the right people with a passion for what they do on board, so that it will show in our product, our communities and our families. Starting Beacon Homes in 2003 and building homes for families is a blessing to be able to do, but I believe our purpose in this business is far greater than just providing our families with the utmost quality in our homes. I believe our greater mission is to be a reflection Christ to those around us in this and all we do. Spending time with family is a great joy for me. My wife of 25 years and four kids love exploring new places together, sharing time with family around fun and food as often as we can.

Ed Hilliard's Bio
I consider myself blessed to have joined the team at Beacon Homes in 2010. The value of relationship with God, family, coworkers, and community are so important and I share them with this team. For over 35 years I have enjoyed bringing the beauty of ideas, design, architecture, operations, and the construction process to the finished product. I am driven to find efficient logistic solutions with products and people working together to bring dreams to fruition. I build homes but my passion is building relationships with others in Christ and enjoying each step of the journey with my family, wife, kids, grandbabies, and friends.

Jason Gudahl's Bio
I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of Beacon. Joining this team in August 2017 with strong values and beliefs in creating and building homes for families was a blessing. Faith and family are the most important aspects in my life. Passion and helping others has always been part of who I am. Five years experience building all different types of construction projects has provided me the variety of knowledge necessary in understanding and successfully completing multiple projects. I am excited to continue a pursuit of helping families find happiness in building their dream home. Since I was a kid I have always enjoyed all aspects of architecture. Beacon allows me to pursue my dream of building. Outside of work I enjoy sports, cooking, and spending time with family and friends.

Aj Sadeghi's Bio
I joined the Beacon team in February of 2017 and I am very excited to see where this chapter of life takes me. I have always been interested in real estate and with 12 years of experience in the sales industry I took the leap from interior sales and design to home sales. After flipping my own home and then building another home I caught the bug so from architecture, design, construction, livability and all that goes on all the way up to the finished product is something I enjoy walking through with clients. In my time, away from work I have a love for music and enjoy playing and traveling with my band. When I am not playing a show, my wife of 6 years and I love to travel, grilling out with friends and spending time with our two dogs, Millie and Lucy.
Beth Byrd's Bio
I studied at the Design Institute of San Diego and have worked in a wide variety of positions in the design and construction industry in the past twenty-one years. I've been enamored with home design and new construction my whole life, so working with Beacon is a dream come true for me. I enjoy helping families navigate the process of finding and designing a home that is unique to their personal taste. I've lived on both coasts and grown to love and appreciate the quirks of regional style across the country. When I'm not working, I enjoy my time with my husband and our five boys. Yes, five! I am so thankful for the many blessings that God has placed in my life, especially for the opportunity to work with such a talented, creative, honest, and fun group of people.

Emily Herron's Bio
Joining the Beacon team has been a breath of fresh air. Their professionalism, warmth, and integrity truly sets them apart. I have a degree in Public Relations from Oral Roberts University and a love for sales and people! I have been in New Home Sales since 2016 and absolutely love leading people through the process. Building a home doesn’t have to be scary or difficult! Before working in Real Estate, I was a makeup artist and dance teacher. My husband and I enjoy adventure and travel. Our favorite destination, so far, has been Italy! My favorite scripture and life motto is Proverbs 16:3. “Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.”
Shawna Parker's Bio
Joining the sales team for Beacon Homes is a dream come true. My passion and drive for life have always been centered around my faith, my family, and my career. My husband and I have a total of 6 children and 8 grandkids. Never a dull moment with us! My career has always been in some form of Real Estate. For the past 23 years, I have focused on Property Management for Multi-family communities in the Kansas City and Oklahoma City areas. Some of them have been new construction communities and others have been a little more challenging, with leading a full renovation for interior and exterior projects on older communities. Through it all, I have been blessed to provide homes to many families, and that what I enjoy the most! On my new journey with Beacon Homes, I look forward to assisting you through your new home building experience and being apart of this wonderful team!

Aron Griffin's Bio
Coming on as the CAD Drafter for Beacon was more than I had hoped for. My job is to make any adjustments to your home’s floor plan to make it just right for you. Having taken classes for Architecture at Oklahoma State University and Drafting at Central Technology Center, I knew that drafting is something I wanted to do. I have had all sorts of positions and feel like they were there to lead me here. In my free time, I enjoy exploring 3d printing technology and seeing what it has to offer and where it can lead us, discovering new board games, and hanging out with family when the opportunity arises.
Billy Parkman's Bio
I am so grateful to be working in the Warranty department at Beacon Homes. The quality of the members of our team has greatly impressed me. Before joining Beacon in July 2020, I spent the last 15 years operating my own small business in Edmond. I am a father of 4 and a husband of 37 years to my best friend and confidant. Working with wood and metal to create beautiful furniture is a past time of mine. My hobby seems to be work! I am a member of a family of believers in Edmond and Guthrie. Because of this, I am rich beyond measure. I look forward to meeting you and serving you in your journey of making your house a home. God exists and is personal. God loves His creation. He loves you! I become more convinced of this the longer I am alive. Psalm 19:1 "The heavens declare the Glory of God." Whoever will listen will hear the heavens speaking.

I have worked off and on with Beacon in various roles since 2017. In 2019, I began in my most recent role as the Construction Manager for our Tulsa market, and it is truly a joy and pleasure to be a part of building family-focused homes for our customers. At home, I am the luckiest person in the world because of my amazing wife Sarah, and our wonderful son Griffin. In our free time, we love swimming, going on family hikes, and grilling out and watching football on the weekends with friends and family.
