The people behind GridLynQ
A company is the people who build it
Before there was a grid, a battery or a marina, there were two friends in the 4th grade.
Chapter 1 · 4th grade
Two kids at Holy Rosary
Kyle Ritchie and Brendan O'Shea met in the 4th grade at Holy Rosary. They grew up side by side — classmates, teammates and, just as often, rivals.
The same school gave them the same foundation: Christian values about how you treat people, and a belief that what you do should make a difference.
Chapter 2 · 8th grade
The kickball home-run race
By 8th grade the two were battling for the lead in the kickball home-run race. Neither gave an inch — and neither ever stopped cheering the other on.
That is still how they work: competitive and cooperative at the same time. Push each other hard, and win together.
Chapter 3 · Different roads
Growing up, growing apart
Life took them down different paths, with different experiences and different influences. Kyle became a civil engineer, ran home services and built homes as a contractor before turning to the waterfront.
Brendan built his own career in law and public policy — the arena where big infrastructure gets decided.
Chapter 4 · 25 years later
As if no time had passed
After 25 years they reconnected — and bonded again so quickly it was as if the years had never gone by.
Same values, same drive, now with a lifetime of experience between them. Together they've set out on a shared path: to collaborate and bring real benefit to the people and places they serve.
Chapter 5 · The team grows
Brendan's story
Brendan brings command of law and policy to the team — the knowledge of how public decisions get made, and how to make the case for infrastructure that serves everyone.
