I began working with doors around 1980, in the foolish impetuousness of youth, I was not wise enough to escape when I could. In 1984 I received my Basic and Advanced Certification as a locksmith. Shortly thereafter, I began Estimating and Outside Sales. Studied Commercial Blueprint Reading at Pima Community College and STILL can’t figure out what they’ve drawn. Have spent over 20 years associated with some of the best people in the business and still enjoy coming to work every day. |
“I was born and raised in sunny, humid Florida. When I grew too large to be viable gator bait, my parents sent me to school. Unfortunately, I didn’t apply myself very well and ended up selling doors. Virtually every door shop I have worked with is now defunct and I am trying my darnedest to topple this empire as well. Try as I may, I keep getting things right and most of my orders go out on time. My doctor is adjusting my dosage as I seem to enjoy coming here each day. In the evening, I go home to my wife and three cats. I am also vying for the title of “world’s oldest video gamer”. |

Having worked at banks and other commercial institutions, I have an inside knowledge of bookkeeping, balance sheets and billing. After my introduction to Peachtree and SFH, I have had to hone my cursing skills considerably and I find the wine doesn’t last as long as it used to. I take great pleasure in brow-beating my subordinates over incorrect tax rates, incorrect dates and missing information. When they finally carry me out of here toes up, everything will have been reconciled and balanced perfectly. I have the ability to completely remove any calories from the various snack foods in the office and I make a mean plate of Grandma’s Goodies. |
Native Tucsonan, married (Sorry guys!) and retired from the City of Tucson after 33 years. I was hired in March, 2006 as a part-time assistant in Accounting, but have found my true calling as a full-time Tormentor of the entire Sales Division. My goal is to have them all in tears before going home each day. So far, I’m batting a thousand. |
Here at Steel Dor, I take care of Accounts Receivables so if you get a phone call from me you had better return my call! I also handle the benefits for all of our employees. Besides those duties, I take care of ordering all of our supplies. You can’t beat a job where you get paid to go shopping, right? If you stop by the office, you can come visit me all the way in the back of the office. My office is the messy one! Which explains why I am hidden where most people can’t see me. In my spare time, I keep busy baking and decorating cakes. I also volunteer at my church. I have two high strung dogs that keep me pretty busy. I am currently teaching them how to walk on their leashes at the same time. Usually it ends up with me getting quite a work out and whoever sees me walking them getting a good laugh! I also “moonlight” tending bar once a week at a little neighborhood bar. |

Hi, I’m Derald Richards and I’m the lead hollow metal door tech here at Steel-Dor. Now you may think that wrestling 200 lb doors around all day and cutting and welding them is a tough job, but in all actuality, I find my work to be a relaxing way to escape the tribe of teenagers I have living with me at home. After a long, hard day at work, I go home and entertain myself with remodeling projects, building workshops and re-landscaping my front and back yards. If I feel especially lazy, I may sleep a couple hours each night, but other than that I’m working. Each day is a victory for me as I outwit the Sales staff’s requests for the difficult to impossible modifications they require. The difficult I can do in a couple of hours, the impossible usually takes a day or two. |
When I’m not making cars go fast, I’m making hollow metal fast. Just like my famous namesake “Git ‘er done” is my motto. I enjoy drag racing my Chevy on weekends and using the prize money to make it even faster. I race at Southwest International Raceway in the Super Pro Class. When I’m not polishing my trophies, I work on the Levitz CIFCA Funny Car Team. So, the sooner I get your frames done, the sooner I can hit the drag strip. (Don’t tell anybody but I’m planning on turbo-charging the forklift!) |
I used to get sand kicked in my face until I took one of those Charles Atlas courses advertised in the back of a comic book. In just a few months, bullies were no longer kicking sand in my face as Lesson #1 was entitled “Stop Going to the Beach”. I continued honing my physique to perfection while letting my mind atrophy and the only logical conclusion was to go to work for a door shop. I have become a very talented wood door technician in spite of the materials I have been given to work with. The templates, tickets and lead times I deal with provide a good measure of stress in my life which I relieve by working as a bouncer in area night clubs. I won’t tell you which one(s) or which night(s), but if you go out in Tucson, you’d better keep your nose clean or I’ll break it. |
Well, my name is Tim and I am 19. I am a Frame Tech right now and
I kind of bounce around from department to department in the shop.
I do a little welding and a lot of grinding. I enjoy playing guitar
in my free time and I am the little Metal Head of the shop. I am
also the youngest, so I tend to get all the grief in the shop. I
have two nicknames around here, one is Mean Mug and the other is
Sasquatch thanks to the “Front Counter” guy Geoff (Harold).
Well, that’s pretty much it I guess. I am a nice guy so yea… |

Sammie Rothrock 63 years young. Retired from the City of Tucson after 30 years. Widowed 2000. Have two sons and two wonderful daughters-in-law. (Notice the glaring absence of any adjectives describing my sons.) Have the greatest most wonderful fun smart Grandson, who takes after his Mimi (That’s me!). Have wonderful fun with 6 grand-dogs and 2 grand-cats (Again, the animals take precedence over my two sons.) Have 1 dog and 3 cats – only because my children made sure I run an animal shelter. None of them are spoiled because all the furniture is theirs. (But my sons sit on the floor when they visit.) Came to work at Steel Dor because it’s the only legal way I can get even with my children. |
Trevor Rothrock Born and raised in Tucson Arizona. Left Tucson and attended Northern Arizona University for WAY too long of a time. (The time line is debatable depending on who you ask. God I wish I were back there now.) Back at Steel Dor HQ in 2000. I enjoy spending time with my family and trying to golf whenever there are no computer problems or issues, needless to say, I don’t get to do either one very much. |
