MAX GOMEZ
Born and raised in Florida, Max Gomez is the type of guy you might thank the next time you fly into space, and the pilot doesn't crash or the rocket doesn't explode.

As an engineer for a space contractor, Max thinks in parsecs during the week, but measures his weekends in miles offroad.

After relocating to Colorado, he traded his trusty 2WD Colorado in for a real truck, a brand new 4WD version of the same that he can't stop building out. As you might imagine, he's an organizational nut which makes him a 100% certifiable DECKEDhead.

With his trusty dog, Tina, Max is working on developing an automatic beer opener among other clever inventions which may grace one of our products someday.

DECKED REAL CUSTOMERS: DANIEL ILLG

DANIEL ILLG - ARBORIST
Daniel Illg is the Louisiana born and bred Lorax Spiderman of New Orleans. Watching guys climb trees as a kid inspired him to become a climber himself and ever since that first day, he has lived to “get high."
Being a mobile dispatch operator, he’s a guy whose most critical piece of gear is truly his truck. “You never know what’s coming each day or week. Trees don’t keep to a schedule and around here severe weather can force me to live out of my truck for days on end. This is my mobile office and it’s got to be organized. I approach each day eyes wide open not only because it’s dangerous, but also because my passion is caring for, preserving and advocating for trees.”

DECKED REAL CUSTOMERS: RENEGADE OIL & GAS

RENEGADE OIL & GAS | CHARLIE CRAFT
"We needed something that could store everything we use, wouldn’t damage the trucks or weigh a ton like the other options on the market. We don’t like to drill holes in our rigs."
Charlie Craft is the Regional Manager for Renegade Oil and Gas’s well maintenance company. Working in Employment Services, part of his job is keeping his workers safe and efficient.
“Our field hands were a little skeptical of DECKED at first, but once they got the drawers and started configuring them to their jobs, there was no looking back; they absolutely love them. Now, the guys who don’t have them in their trucks are begging us to get them.
We are saving time, and that means money. The price is a real no brainer. And it’s safer. Not only because it reduces tripping and falling hazards, but also because we don’t have gear like fire extinguishers in the cabs bouncing around.
The guys can easily access everything they need and keep it way more organized.
I definitely recommend DECKED. It fulfills all our storage needs and with the different components they make, you can infinitely organize everything you need as well as strap things like compressors, generators and what not to the top. It really increases the usability of our truck beds.”

DECKED REAL CUSTOMERS: RAM RACING

RAM RACING
Based in Lindon, Utah, RAM Builders is family run affair employing over 130 workers in the Salt Lake City area. Paul and Kris McCoy took over their dad’s business which was founded in the 1980’s as he approached retirement, living by his motto, “Everything matters.”
Raised on adrenaline and pushing brooms around jobsites, the McCoy brothers grew up racing ATV’s, motorcycles, cars and eventually finding their true calling in UTV’s. “We switched to UTV’s because it’s way more family friendly, everyone can get in on the fun.” Their success is most notably marked by their virgin run on the Baja 1000 in which RAM Racing placed 14th last year in the Pro Turbo class.
“We always buy the right tool even if it’s the most expensive. You just do it right the first time. And we break everything. Which is why we put DECKED in our work trucks and our chase truck. It’s one thing we know we don’t have to worry about.”
For their offroad race truck tool storage system RAM chose a full bed toolbox as their needed tools are best organized in drawers which also allow them to store the big stuff on top.

DECKED REAL CUSTOMERS: THEO STEIN

THEO STEIN: HUNTING DOG TRAINER
Theo Stein is a recovering journalist [resume includes the Denver Post, Colorado DOW, and US Fish and Wildlife Service] who presently serves as Public Affairs Officer for NOAA in Boulder, CO. His passion for wildlife and the outdoors led him to raising and training two award-winning German Shorthair Pointers, Rocco and Isabel. Realizing early on that hunting with poorly trained dogs was a good way to lose hunting buddies, Theo dove headfirst into gun dog training when he was assigned to launch a pheasant hunting school with the Colorado DOW. He just finished up a four-year stint as the president of the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the North American Versatile Hunting Dog Association.
“I got Rocco in 2012 from Scarecrow Kennels and had a great year. He turned out to be an elite, all-around gun dog, but my truck was always a mess. DECKED is ideal for securely storing and organizing my gear. The elevated deck under my cap keeps my dogs up in the breeze on hot Colorado days, and I no longer have to move stuff from the bed to the cab of my truck or garage every night.”

DECKED REAL CUSTOMERS: GRADY HAM

GRADY HAM: SILVERTON MOUNTAIN
Located in southwest Colorado, Silverton Mountain is a place where the average snowfall exceeds the number of daily visitors, and avalanche gear is required to ride the lift at all times. No grooming, no ski patrol, no condos, no kooks. Owners Jen and Aaron Brill opened the resort in 2002 to deliver guests to over 1,819 acres right off the lift and over 22,000 acres reachable by helicopter. They do it all with nothing more than one recycled double chair.
Enter Grady Ham, the sole lift mechanic and Mountain Manager at Silverton. He was instrumental in installing the fixed two-person chairlift with Aaron Brill back in 2001. Ham relies on his DECKED system as his mobile toolbox for regular lift maintenance year-round.
"I’ve really been pushing the system and haven’t had any issues. I’ll throw an 800lb chairlift motor with a bad bearing on top of the deck in double negative temps...and still have easy access to all my tools. We get lots of snow here in Silverton, and I’ve never had any issues with my drawers."

DECKED REAL CUSTOMERS: NIC DE CASTRO

NIC DE CASTRO: ENTREPRENEUR
After a decade on the east coast working a desk job, helping startups acquire customers, Nic pulled the trigger and moved back out west to Bozeman with a startup vision of his own. A true jack of all trades [hunting, surfing, spearfishing, startups] Nic found a way to combine his passion for the outdoors with his business skills to launch LandTrust.
LandTrust unlocks access to private land for hunting & fishing. Through their Airbnb-style marketplace, private landowners can list their land for sportsmen to book for hunting & fishing trips. This is solving the biggest pain point for sportsmen, which is access to places to pursue their sporting passions. They also partner with the leading hunting & fishing conservation organizations by donating a percentage of every booking made through our site to protect hunting & fishing access, game species and habitat.
De Castro wasn't ready to pull the trigger on a topper quite yet, but still needed to have organized, secure access to his gear and tools. That's why he chose DECKED:
“I'm able to keep signs, tools and expensive camera equipment safe, dry and secure in the DECKED drawers. I also always dedicate one of my DECKED drawers to hunting and/or fishing based on the season. In the summertime, it's got all my fly fishing gear…As September rolls around I'll have my archery pack, sleep system, boots, & shotgun for birds. You never know when you can sneak away for a quick morning/afternoon hunt. As the late season comes around, I'll start storing a rifle, shotgun & bird hunting jacket in the drawer. I also run a Gunner Kennel for my dog year-round strapped on top of the deck which works out really nicely.”

This a really neat thread. Almost as good as the shameless joke of the day fitness video.
