Leadership

After graduating from the University of Central Florida with a Bachelors degree in accounting, Gary began working as an internal auditor for Exxon Office Systems and Ryder/Pie Trucking. He then spent 17 years as the controller for a company in the wholesale beverage industry before moving to the great state of Idaho.

Prior to coming to SCS, Gary held a position with a local general contractor for 9 years that allowed him to fit right in with the culture and business at Specialty.  Gary’s path to Specialty was a whirlwind. Gary was in a car accident on his way to work, notified of his layoff from the company because of a downturn in the commercial building industry and subsequently interviewed with and was offered a position at Specialty all in a 24-hour period. Gary has been with SCS since 2013.

The experience working with a general contractor prior to joining SCS gave him the ability to work hands on with specialized equipment and projects that required materials and supplies that Specialty provides. This knowledge, a hard work ethic and attention to detail made him a perfect fit for joining the Specialty team.

Gary and his wife homeschooled two great children. During that time, they created a small woodworking business that participated in local craft shows throughout the Treasure Valley. From a strong desire and the enjoyment of woodworking, Gary went from creating simple turnings to creating beautiful wooden instruments.

Daniel has been with SCS for 15 years. Prior to working at SCS he worked as a shop manager at Idaho Wood Sheds and a Superintendent of Price-Meyers Custom Homes. All that helped to prepare him for an incredible journey through the ranks of SCS.

In the 15 years Daniel has worked at Specialty, he has moved through just about every position in the company. Daniel has worked his way up through the ranks as an inside salesperson, to estimator/project manager, to Administrator – TWICE. Daniel now holds the position of Specialty’s Traffic Control Administrator.

Daniel has completed several courses to enhance his abilities in his current position as Traffic Control Administrator. Daniel is certified as an ATSSA Traffic Control Supervisor, ATSSA Traffic Control Plan Design Specialist and ATSSA Maintenance and Short Duration Activities Course. All this education and certification allows him to effectively manage the largest traffic control company in Southern Idaho.

In his off time, Daniel enjoys hunting and fishing. But above all he enjoys spending time hanging out with his wife and three beautiful children.

Kevin has been with SCS for 17 years and is a true success story of coming up through the ranks of SCS. Before SCS, Kevin graduated with an Associates Degree in Computer Science. He then gained experience in the forestry industry, recycling, mechanics and heavy equipment parts. All this varied experience helped prepare him for his climb through SCS.

Kevin came to Specialty as a general laborer involved in the flagging department. His skill set moved him into warehouse duties and deliveries and then on into customer service positions. Kevin had a desire to be part of the sales department and made his first sale while he was still a large part of SCS’s flagging crew.

That propelled him into a sales position where he began bidding projects and working as both an inside and outside salesperson. Throughout his sales experience, he noticed an area of need for customers that was not being met by any construction company in the valley. Thus, he created and supervised Specialty’s Erosion Control installation department. Because of his hard work and dedication, Kevin was promoted to Sales Manager and has served in that position for over 10 years.  

In his spare time, Kevin enjoys just about any outdoor sporting activity. He likes hunting and riding ATV’s with his family and friends.

Greg came to work at SCS in 2007. After graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Northwest Nazarene University, he briefly traveled the country with an event production company. Ultimately, he returned to his roots having grown up working around the road construction industry.

Greg was hired on at SCS as an outside salesperson with a primary focus on the geosynthetic market. As he gained experience, Greg was entrusted with the responsibility of estimating most projects from a sales aspect of SCS’s business. Eventually, his experience in estimating propelled him into estimating and managing Specialty’s erosion control department.

In his off-time Greg enjoys going to and watching sporting events and spending quality time with his wife Stephanie and their newborn daughter.

Bob started with Specialty Construction Supply in 2011 and was hired as an outside salesperson and has since grown into managing most of our rental equipment fleet. Bob pretty well fills any need that may arise around the office. No challenge is too large.  

Bob had previously been selling concrete supplies for 24 years (22 years at one company) and had been doing various types of construction work for 13 years prior to that. During that time, he had his own company doing remodeling and insurance restoration work for 2 years.

Bob has been through Conspec Construction Chemicals College of Knowledge; a comprehensive training on the use and application of chemicals for the concrete industry. More recently he completed the Crafco Inc. Equipment School for the operation, servicing and repair of Crafco’s asphalt maintenance equipment. He is also authorized to train and certify our customer’s employees on the use and application of Crafco’s equipment and materials by Crafco Inc. as required by states and municipalities.

Bob spends a lot of his personal time doing mechanical work around the house, riding street bikes and enjoying the shooting sports. He also enjoys camping with his wife, children and grandchildren when he gets the chance.
