He credits his success to the excellent daily support he receives from his coworkers: “I could not do my job without the fab shop, shipping and receiving, purchasing, and detailing. Because of these folks and the rest of the Hermanson team, I can get the tools, materials, and information I need to do my job without hassle or delay.”

A true team player, Dave embodies Hermanson’s core values of “Team”, “Appreciate” and “Character Counts” with the mantra “Don’t be a part of the problem, be a part of the solution!” His advice to others is to plan ahead, communicate well, and don’t sweat the small stuff.

Outside of work, Dave is a family man.He has been married to his wife, Denae for 33 years. Together they have three children (and two daughters-in-law!) and their youngest is currently attending Western Washington University. The Gordons also have a family dog – an energetic black lab named Moose!

Dave comes from a family of plumbers and pipe fitters. His grandfather and uncle were both plumbers and his brother was a pipe fitter, so his career choice makes perfect sense!

Thank you, Dave for all your hard work! Hermanson is lucky to have you!

“He is the most kindest, generous man, and his children absolutely adore him!”
– Denae Gordon

“I nominated Dave for Foreman Focus because he is motivated and dependable. He’s always ‘chomping at the bit’ to get his work done and get it done now!”
– Nick Zuclich, Fitting General Superintendent
