Meet the Staff

Gerard:

Meet Gerad,
He is an owner and the go to man here at the shop. After graduating from GHS he attended LCSC for auto mechanics, pursued a few different paths but settled into a full-time gig in 1994. You all may remember him as the OG of Nuxoll Shell in Cottonwood where he began. When Don decided to sell, he continued on over here in Grangeville after purchasing the old FS building.
