Meet the Faces Behind the Spaces

Clayton Lainhart
FOUNDER
A Nashville native, Clayton grew up in a house built by his father, a residential general contractor. From an early age, he was exposed to building and renovating homes, often spending Saturday mornings helping his dad complete projects for Habitat for Humanity, a cause still near and dear to the (Lain)hart.
Upon receiving a degree in Mechanical Engineering from Georgia Tech in 2011, Clayton spent the next 10 years gaining project management experience, the last five of those coming at Advent where he working on many projects including the Lasch Football Building renovations at Penn State, the Dallas Cowboys world headquarters at The Star in Frisco, Texas and renovations at the AT&T Executive Center in Dallas, Texas.
Clayton and his wife, Helen, live in Brentwood with their daughter, Charlotte, and 2 sons, Jack and Hank. When he’s not bringing your build vision to life, Clayton can be found tinkering with cars, working on a personal furniture project, or throwing catfish onto the ice at Preds games.

Annie Keegan
PROJECT COORDINATOR
Hailing from Greenwich, CT, Annie Keegan is our Project Coordinator extraordinaire. Prior to Bevel, Annie navigated the fast-paced world of advertising in NYC before spending nine years in the classroom teaching elementary school, so it’s safe to say she knows a thing or two about bringing order to chaos.
Whether it’s behind-the-scenes organization, managing finances, or selecting finishes with clients, there’s no process Annie can’t streamline. With a love for architecture and home renovations, Annie always shows up excited about solving every new challenge that comes her way.
Annie resides in East Nashville with her husband Colin, their two daughters Cora and Rowan, and their Bernese Mountain Dog, Fiona. If you’re lucky, you might find her serenading them with Disney hits on the saxophone.

Todd Wigant
PROJECT MANAGER
Serving as our Project Manager at Bevel, Todd turns dreams into reality. As a child, Todd wanted to be an astronaut when he grew up. After seven years managing The Tile Shop, where he fostered leaders and worked with everyone from contractors to designers, Todd took one giant leap into his role with Bevel and never looked back.
Among his responsibilities of herding cats (aka coordinating trades), managing budgets, and advising on selections, Todd maintains a commitment to ensuring every project is up to his high standards and takes great pride in seeing the client’s vision realized.
Originally from Moline, IL – the home of John Deere – you can still find this Tennessee Tech alum cheering on the Bulls, Cubs, Hawkeyes, and Titans or cooking up something delicious for his wife, Kayla, and their daughter, Ophelia. And if you like to “slappa da bass,” Todd can be the Peart to your Lee: playing Rush’s “Tom Sawyer” on the drums is his not-so-hidden talent.

Medardo Picado
FOREMAN
Medardo hails from Nicaragua, but now calls the US home. He has worked many jobs from installing commercial windows all across the country to managing a bee farm in Montana. Medardo can be found on Bevel’s job sites to everything from keeping the site clean and organized to making those final tweaks at the end of project to ensure that everything on the punch list is handled with care.

Carlos Parisi
JOB SITE COORDINATOR
A native of Santiago, Chile, Carlos brings a unique mix of skills to Bevel as our Job Site Coordinator. With 20 years of experience working across Europe in various roles, including set design and assembly (thanks to his background at Stockholm Film School), Carlos found his way to Bevel a year ago.From coordinating delivery of materials to assisting with carpentry, Carlos’s knowledge of scenery assembly has made him a natural fit at making everything else fit, and his constant pursuit of a job well done translates to a client well served.
Outside of work, Carlos enjoys spending time with his wife and two kids. And if you’re lucky enough to catch him on karaoke night, get ready for a powerful performance of "Vesti la Giubba" from Pagliacci.
