Walker Glass is pleased to announce the appointment of John Myers as Architectural Manager for the US Southeast region, covering Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
Myers brings nearly four decades of glass industry experience to his new role. He began his career at Gardner Glass in 1987 and advanced rapidly through the ranks to reach Vice President of Sales. In 2008, USGlass Magazine recognized him as one of the industry’s Most Influential People. A decade later, he founded Gardner’s Architectural Management initiative in response to a growing need for specialized product education among architects and designers.
“We are delighted to have John on board,” said Marc Deschamps, Vice President of Products and Business Development at Walker Glass. “His extensive experience and deep understanding of glass make him an invaluable addition to our team. We have a great deal of respect for him and the work he has done at Gardner.”
Architects across the Southeast will benefit from Myers’ broad expertise in glass and glazing products, including specialty applications. His long tenure in sales and architectural support gives him a well-rounded perspective on both design intent and practical implementation.
Asked what he looks forward to in his new role, Myers replied, “I’m excited about the opportunity to educate the market and support architects in specifying the right products. What I enjoy most is helping create new opportunities and seeing great projects come to fruition.”
Congratulations to John Myers on his new role!
