Craig LeMasters, President and CEO
As a graduate of the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, GDI Founder Craig LeMasters thrives on unique challenges and enjoys working with clients to develop the most original, innovative solutions possible. As such, Craig is involved in every aspect of GDI’s growing capabilities, from the initial consult to final install. A hands-on approach benefits all GDI customers since this president understands exactly what it takes to get a job done. He doesn’t cut corners and always keeps the client’s best interest in mind.
While GDI has significantly evolved over the years, one thing has remained the same. Craig – GDI president and CEO – still follows the same simple philosophy: “Give each customer the best product faster and less expensively than anyone else in the industry.” It’s a philosophy that he is proud to stand by and one that GDI’s many loyal customers can attest to, as well.
Personally, Craig lives in the Kent area with his wife Lisa and their four sons. Craig enjoys snowboarding with his family and collects and restores vintage Ford Mustangs. He is also very active in the community coaching youth sports teams and lending his expertise in local projects.
