Luanne Houck


Luanne has lived in Frederick County for 17 years supporting the Fort Detrick military community as a government contractor. She originally worked for SHERIKON, Incorporated, a small minority-owned 8(a) business with about 900 employees at the time it was acquired by Anteon Incorporated in 2000. She learned the new dynamics and challenges of working for this large business that went public in 2001. In June, General Dynamics, a $21B corporation, purchased Anteon and now Luanne is busy transitioning into the business environment of a world-recognized company.


Luanne has senior management responsibilities within the health services group of General Dynamics Information Technology. Her customer base is primarily the U.S. Army medical department which includes the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command at Fort Detrick; the U.S. Army Medical Department Center and School in San Antonio, TX; and the Office of the Surgeon General, U.S. Army in Falls Church, VA. She also oversees employees supporting the Naval Medical Research Center in Silver Spring, MD and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, GA. She is very proud to support the important mission of these organizations which are all focused on saving lives and improving the health of Americans, especially the military service member. She enjoys the varied nature of her professional career which includes traveling to visit employees and customers, attending conferences and tradeshows, fostering business relationships, developing business strategies, analyzing financial reports to ensure profitability, and writing proposals.


Luanne has a Master’s Degree in Business Administration from Frostburg University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Delaware. She lives in Mount Airy, Maryland with her husband, Rory, and her three children, Mitchell (15), Shannon (12), and Erica (6). When she is not busy with the kids’ activities, she enjoys working out, dancing, running, cycling, skiing, and rock climbing.
