Gary Mottershead is always looking toward the future. By asking questions about what’s most important, Gary helps create a motivating picture of the future and a plan for moving forward. With over 20 years of experience working with recycled rubber and industrial products, Gary is leading his industry to new ways of doing business with suppliers in China. Not only has he managed to eliminate the risk from using international sources, but he’s also shifting these imports from being perceived as “bargain goods” to being proven as reliable, quality materials that meet or exceed Western standards. But even though his background is in manufacturing and chemical engineering, Gary believes it’s important for specialists to still consider themselves entrepreneurs. “You get into it by being a technician,” he says, “but you can’t stay a technician for very long. You have to be able to think about and direct where the business is going.” Gary became an entrepreneur in 1989. Having left a position at DuPont, he went to work for a friend, but the friend decided to sell the company. Gary was offered another job, but, he says, “I just couldn’t take it. I had a huge desire to do something that hadn’t been done before, and to do it on my own.” He and his wife had just had a child, two of his family members were ill, and the economy was in recession. “It was a crazy time,” Gary says, but he jumped in anyway and started a company that specialized in recycling tires.
