WarehouseCompany History

Gavin Necochea, Owner/President

Gavin Necochea is the Owner/President at Pro Tool and Equipment Inc. He purchased the company in April 2012 from Janet Andrews. His previous experience was 20 years in the construction industry. He rose from a laborer straight out of high school, to an Executive Vice President before pursuing his current opportunity with Pro Tool. Having been on the purchasing side of construction, it gives him unique insight to what a company is looking for in a supplier. His father and brother are utility lineman so he knows first-hand what it takes to get that job done correctly, and the value of safety, day in and day out.

Gavin’s greatest strengths are his creativity, drive and leadership. He thrives on challenges, particularly those that expand the company’s reach. He practices teamwork at every level of his organization and looks for like-minded companies that want to build a partnership, not just a buyer/seller relationship.

Gavin is a San Diego native and proudly resides there with his wife and two children.  In his free time he loves to focus on spending time with them.  He also loves to volunteer coach youth sports, in particular, football.
