Gary brings to T&D Global a wealth of experience relating to heavy industrial equipment and a through knowledge of electrical system requirements, having over 30 years of combined experience. Gary’s contribution to the refurbishment of offset sheet-fed printing presses is a special skill given to only a very few….that being, spatial recognition.

He is the lead floor technician in the Preparation Department because he understands the inner working of “all” the parts, including hydraulic, electrical, and air actuation. He understands the principal, “each printing unit demonstrates true perfection when each step of the quality process is perfected”.

Gary's reliance on perfection provides leadership to each technician under his supervision and motivates each to do their very best. Incidentally, Gary’s two sons, Felix and Scott are employed by T&D Machine Handling which embellishes the statement, “T&D’s family of companies”.
