Gear Experts®

Hi, I'm Adrian. I was raised in rural South Dakota and earned my Economics Degree from SDSU (Go Jacks!). In my spare time, I enjoy reading and learning about infrastructure projects and what's going on in the world around me. I'm also into traveling, watching and attending sporting events, cooking, and spending time with friends and family. I've always been interested in the telecom and utility industries and have worked in a variety of fields, including a brief stint as a tower hand. I found a great fit here at GME, where I can further my knowledge and passion while helping others. I look forward to working with you and helping keep you and your crew safe!

I grew up on a farm near a small town in Mid-Missouri where I mostly spent my time playing baseball, baskeball, and fishing. Those activities taught me valuable lessons, and are still a large part of how I identify today.

I left the farm in 2015 to attend The University of Missouri, where I focused on business management. In search of an internship, I discovered GME Supply, where I was given the opportunity to apply what I learned at Mizzou in a practical setting.

During my internship, I became familiar with how special GME is. This is a group that is energetic and determined to be their best every day. I've always been interested in General Construction, as my family has been involved in the industry. However, since joining GME, I have developed a profound interest in infrastructure and the tower industry.

I feel extremely lucky to work every day with unique customers and challenges, a top-notch team, and in an industry that is constantly innovating and growing. I look forward to the chance to work with you to ensure the highest level of safety and productivity!

Born and raised in Denver, I grew up playing sports being driven by competition. I am devoted to my family and always looking to have fun.

I started at Custom Tool Supply in 2002, with goals to assist MSO's and contractors with the challenging supply chain needs for the industry. Since inception, we've seen many industry changes in material and technology. I've learned to be nimble and creative in order to meet our customers' needs. I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve.

My wife and I moved to her hometown in Blackwater, Missouri after working in west Tennessee for over 5 years. We love serving others and building relationships everywhere we go. We also enjoy the outdoors and late-night game nights with coffee or ice cream.

I have always had a passion for recreational climbing and backpacking - constantly researching the latest and greatest gear. GME Supply has now expanded my knowledge into a whole new world of at-height safety and protection. I plan to dedicate myself to additional product training to get you the best products.

If there is one thing that I personally strive for each day it is to work hard and work efficiently. Working at GME Supply will be no different. I am here to build relationships and keep you all safely and efficiently working on the job. I look forward to every opportunity in helping others #ClimbHigher.

My name is Brandon Garner. I am a Political Science major at Kennesaw State University. Prior to attending KSU, I was a Business Management major at the University of North Georgia, located in the beautiful north Georgia mountains. While there, my love for the outdoors grew as I spent time hiking, hunting and fishing with my friends. Concurrent with my time in college, I spent six years in the Georgia Army National Guard. During this time, I learned the importance of having the right gear and equipment for the job. I look forward to coming into work every day and building on my knowledge of the products you need to keep you working safely and efficiently.

As a Missouri Native, I grew up in the Ozarks where I spent most of my free time hunting, fishing or floating down a river. My adventures led me to a career in arboriculture. I was a tree climber for about 6 years before starting at GME. This incredible journey has landed me at our Denver, CO location. Now my weekends are spent in the mountains with my Blue Heeler Clyde or somewhere on my motorcycle exploring Colorado's scenic byways. I am very thankful for the great opportunities GME has given me and the amazing friends I've made. I look forward to seeing what we do next.

Born and raised in a small town in North Central Texas, I spent my childhood immersed in the great outdoors, hunting and fishing while working on my family's ranch training cutting horses. Today, I dedicate my free time coaching travel baseball teams, instilling in young players the values of teamwork and perseverance both on and off the field. Married to my best friend for 10 years, and a proud father of two beautiful children, vauling family above all else. I continue to love the outdoors alongside my family and teaching my children the importance of hard work, integrity, and appreciating the simple joys of life.

I grew up moving around a lot but spent most of my childhood in a small Navy town outside of Seattle. After highschool I moved down to sunny Southern California where I earned a degree in Finance from California State University of Fullerton. Now I reside in Plano, TX where I spend most of my time in the office or out at the golf course.

I am so glad to be a part of the GME family, it has been such a great experience! It is a breath of fresh air to be a part of a team that continuously helps and looks out for one another. We love our customers and strive to make sure they have the necessary tools to stay safe on the job.

Growing up on a family farm in Mid-Missouri taught me about hard work and dedication. I strive to bring this attribute to my professional career as well as my wife and children. I enjoy being outdoors with my kids doing anything recreational. We love sports, swimming, and wrestling (or “serious fight” as my three year old calls it). We also enjoy spending time on the farm riding dirt bikes and 4-wheelers.

I’m excited to bring my dedication to this industry and look forward to helping you in any way I can. I love making new friends and look forward to being here for anything you may need.

Many years ago I recognized if you do your best at every task each day you can sleep a lot better at night. At GME Supply it is immediately evident that we require the best out of everyone each day. The first time I walked through the doors, I knew this would be the place for me. At GME Supply we are dedicated to keeping workers safe and get them home to their families safe every night. When I am not at work, chances are you will find me at one of the many practices or games my kids are involved in. I cherish time with my wife and kids, lots of laughs, and family dinners. I am dedicated to helping my customers stay safe and work as efficiently and cost effectively as possible. When you call GME, you are not just getting the expertise of one person, you have the entire team working on your project to get you what you need when you need it.

I moved to Columbia in 2002 after college and went to work for a construction company working on Bridges/Lock and Dams. My wife and I live in Boonville, Missouri with our 4 kids. We enjoy outdoor adventure and sports.

Construction has always been a passion of mine, I enjoy helping people solve problems and seeing projects evolve. Columbia Safety is a great company and I look forward coming to work (most days)...I look forward to hearing from you and your team!

?Born and raised in Southern California. I grew up in what was considered a small beach town with a love of the beach, outdoors, music, playing guitar, thrift stores, swap meets, old cars, mid-century design, architecture, friends and my family.

I have been with Custom Tool Supply since 2008 and love being a part of the CTS team! One of my favorite aspects of working at CTS is working with the customers. I enjoy helping them become successful and finding solutions to their needs. I look forward to hearing from you.

I was born and raised in Columbia, Missouri, a mid-sized college town nestled in the heart of the state. We take pride in our college football team, which may be middle-of-the-pack, our beloved local pizza establishment, Shakespeare’s, which is quite delightful, and the beautiful hiking trails that surround us.

Yet, I always yearned to explore the broader world. In my early twenties, I seized the opportunity to teach English in China, drawn by the excitement of immersing myself in a culture so different from my own. After six years there—during which I learned Chinese, got married, and welcomed a daughter into my life—I felt it was time to return home. Upon my return a year ago, I realized just how much I had taken my hometown for granted.

Now, as a newcomer to GME, I am grateful to have encountered such a welcoming community. Not only is everyone here incredibly friendly, but they also uphold a remarkable standard of excellence. Our work environment is fast-paced and efficient, enabling us to ensure that our customers get the gear that they need shipped out the very-same day. While this may seem straightforward, it takes a dedicated team of over two hundred individuals to bring this vision to life, and I'm proud to be part of that.
