Bunkers has been with Gage for 21 years, holding positions in drafting, quality control, sales and operations.

Bunkers, a USD graduate, has taking on multiple industry leadership roles through the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute.
“I am very excited for the opportunity to continue to build on the groundwork that has been put in place,” Bunkers said.
“A monumental shift has been happening at Gage Brothers over the last several years, and our team is ready for this new chapter in our history. The Gages have believed in and supported me since I first started here, and Tom has spent the last 20 years teaching me. It is with pride and humility that I accept this calling to lead Gage Brothers into the future.”
The company also thanked its customers and partners for their continued support.
