I had the pleasure of working Gary on several involved customer retrofit projects. He has a tremendous amount of attention to detail in keeping the communication flowing to keep these projects on track. He is also juggling a multitude of other projects as well. His depth of techinical product knowledge is also a tremendous asset. This includes but is not limited to mechanical, electrical and process. I can truly say Gary made a large impact in helping my projects be successful.

Gary was one of my first contacts with Kayex and he represented the company in a positive and professional manner. Highly capable and experienced, he is known throughout the company as being one of the most knowledgeable experts in the building. As a result, he has been promoted to a position tasked with interfacing with customers and solving complex problems daily. I personally looked to Gary for mentorship in both my professional and personal life.
