CEO @ GATR Coolers

After bouncing from hotel to campground across the country while working in the pipeline industry for over 10 years, I joined my brother to create what would become the GATR brand out of a need to be home with my family more.

Locally owned and operated out of Thibodaux, Louisiana, we really strive to be part of improving the overall quality of living of our parish, city, and state through efforts with GATR. From sponsoring countless athletic teams, outdoor groups, aiding non profits in their raising efforts, and getting involved in as much as possible, you’d be hard pressed to attend an event here that we aren’t part of.

Although we’ve built a very supportive, loyal, group of friends through social media platforms, and our organic traffic to our website continues to amaze me, we specialize in bringing a personal touch to the B2B shopping experience. Offering laser engraved drinkware, customized coolers, custom marine decking, even banners and stickers, contact us today to see how we can help elevate your corporate brand gifting!
