Management Team

Jay Anderson founded Dock & Door Tec in 2006 and has grown the company every year since its inception. Starting in the industry as an Apprentice Service Technician in 1993, he advanced to an Account Representative and then Operations Manager prior to founding Dock & Door Tec. His diverse background and wide range of experiences created the foundation for a "service-focused" company. He enjoys meeting new people and helping them solve their facility problems, a passion he has passed down to his entire team. As an IDEA Accredited Technician and Dealer he maintains a higher standard than most and works to exceed that whenever possible. When not at work, he enjoys spending time with his family, CrossFit (for both fitness and competition), playing dodgeball, obstacle course racing and biking.
