That's a hefty amount of time spent designing, repairing, installing, and maintaining a wide variety of automatic gates. For the most recent decade of that time, he has operated a gate installation and service business where he left his mark all around the State of Washington in the form of residential and commercial automated gates he's designed and installed. Giselle entered the fence and gate industry without knowing a thing about construction or, quite frankly, gates. She comes from a technology and education background where, in her earlier life, she blended the two disciplines to forge a career as a sales and technical training manager at various software firms. She loves education so much that she's spent time teaching in Myanmar and earned a Master's degree in education from the University of Southern California.
