Lane Baker, Controller

As Oxbow’s controller, Lane manages project finances, oversees accounts payable and receivable, prepares detailed financial reports, and works closely with project managers to ensure budgets are met and financial data remains accurate and transparent.

Accuracy and consistency are top priorities for Lane. A graduate of St. Mary’s College with a degree in business, he has built his career on strong financial discipline and analytical skill. Early in his career, Lane played a key role in an $80 million emergency project in Montana — where, as the sole finance professional, he established the office, contracts, and reporting systems within weeks. The project was completed on time, under budget, and every forecast proved accurate.

Outside the office, Lane enjoys exploring his creative side. Recently, he’s taken up face painting — a talent that comes in handy at local events for his wife’s nonprofit foundation, Essentially Everly. The three most important people in his life are his wife, Carmen, his son, Graysen, and his daughter, Everly.
