John Holzheimer, Operations Laborer
|
 |
John was raised in the Monarch Valley in Montana. After his graduation from Belt Valley High School, John serviced in the Army. After his military service he came to Great Falls and worked in the construction business. His talents soon narrowed to a career in floor coverings, wall tiles and counter tops.
He is a true “John-Of-All-Trades” for Chandler Communications. He monitors the transit shelters in Great Falls on a daily basis. A lifetime pride-of-work demands that he makes sure the bus shelters remain clean and tidy at all times. He manages the care of the advertiser’s displays including the installation of the ads. John is always a valuable asset when Dirk needs a trusted hand with billboard construction or maintenance.
John still loves to hunt and camp in the mountains where he grew up. Riding his trail bike on the old logging trails is still one of his favorite experiences.

The roots of Chandler Communications began with Gary forty years ago in Great Falls, Montana. Gary is a native of Montana and has been in the outdoor advertising industry from the beginning of his professional career.
He began in sales with Myhre Outdoor Advertising in 1972 and in 1973 was promoted to area manager in Central Washington State. With a return to Montana in 1978, and with the expansion of his existing business, came the growth and success of a business that grew into Chandler Communications.
Gary enjoys biking, hiking, sailing and conducting kitchen chef experiments. Running with the bulls in Spain four years ago was enough. Gary supports and has worked with United Way, Special Olympics and the Ursline Center in Great Falls.
