ABOUT TMG
Tom and Mary Gazdik started TMG services way back in 1981, using the initials of their combined names to form the company name (we know... original, right?). Anyway, the company was initially started to become a service contractor for Wallace & Tiernan chlorine gas equipment. Since then, TMG has expanded the team on its way to becoming a manufacturer's representative, distributor, fabricator and authorized service center for a number of equipment manufacturers in water and wastewater. We help our customers generate, store, dilute, measure, feed, mix, analyze, control and inject many types of chemicals into their industrial and municipal systems.
THE TMG TEAM
Thomas Gazdik
Director of Operations
Sales - Industrial
Thomas wears many hats in the company. He is Director of Operations, which is a catch-all title for sales, service, parts... and anything else that needs to get done around here!

Brian Yarnell
Senior Technician
Serving all over creation
Brian is our resident technical guru. That's not his title, but it should be. He has been troubleshooting, repairing, and providing training on all sorts of equipment for 25+ years.
Bob Lithgow
Technician
Pretty much wherever he is needed
As the owner of Spokane Instruments for many years, Bob joined the TMG team in 2017. He won't talk your ear off... and he wouldn't EVER say this... but he's pretty good at what he does.
Brittany Apodaca
Inside Sales
Washington Municipal & All Industrial
Brittany is the QUEENBEE of our office and has recently celebrated her 15 year anniversary with TMG. She started in the parts & service department, where she gained a great deal of industry knowledge and formed relationships with many of our amazing customers. She is now fully emerged into an inside sales/project management position and loves the challenges and accomplishments. She is our MVP and go to gal! When she’s not working she spends her time making memories with her beautiful family and her puppies!
Becky Doolin
Inside Sales
Alaska/Idaho/Montana/Oregon Municipal
Becky has been with TMG since August of 2018, and feels like she knows virtually nothing at this point. She answers the phone, and we're hoping to teach her how to use the email machine very soon! Actually... she's very smart and helpful!
Michelle Douglas
Parts Coordinator
Michelle is a nature loving vegan, which frankly can cause some confusion at company barbecues! For the record, she likes her portobello steaks medium rare. She is friendly and social, but by her own admission, not a huge talker. With a background in manufacturing and an eye for detail, she prefers to work behind the scenes. In other words, she’s a perfect fit for the parts department. She cares deeply about customer relationships and is excited to be involved with TMG in supporting local communities. In her free time, Michelle loves to go exploring with her fiancée and four crazy dogs.
Mariah Hodges
Service Coordinator
Michelle Macoubrie
Accountant/HR/AP
After 19 years in the finance world, Michelle Macoubrie has become the "New Mary" for TMG. Since Mary Gazdik has decided to pull back a bit, Michelle has stepped into her shoes to become TMG's in-house accountant, HR, AP, and other assorted acronyms!
If you don't see Michelle in her office, you're very likely to find her spending time either with her bulldogs, or her adorable 18 month old twin granddaughters!
Mary Gazdik
Founder & Principal
Mary is the M (and the G) in TMG Services. She has been the company's resident office manager, Human Resources manager, and bookkeeper since way back when. If she isn't doing the books at TMG, she's spending time with her grandchildren.
Michael Lorey
Design & Fabrication
Here, There & Everywhere
Michael is our chief fabricator, and he also does most of the installs at customer facilities. If he comes to your site, be sure to ask him about his pride and joy Toyota Cressida collection. They are turbo charged rockets straight outta the 70s!
Joan Stramel
Office Assistant
After 40 years in purchasing for a hospital in Illinois, Joan is new to the Northwest. Currently she is helping with the phones and Parts sales... so if you've called, you've likely already heard her friendly voice. Outside of her part-time gig at TMG, Joan loves to travel, do anything outdoors, and spend lots of time with her family. Email Joan here
Jeff Harmon
Territory Manager
Washington Municipal Sales
Jeff started with TMG in 2015, and has been in outside sales ever since, taking excellent care of Washington municipal customers. If you need some technical advice, especially in the area of chemical feed, then just ask him... whereas he will promptly go to Brian and hit him up for the answers! Jeff loves to read, drive around with his wife in Lola (their Miata), work in the yard, and spend lots of time with his kids and grandkids!
Email Jeff here Cell: 253-686-7459
Teresa Corrington
Territory Manager

Idaho & Montana
Teresa is a great asset to TMG. She has been in the industry for many years and is very knowledgeable. Ready to take on any challenge that comes her way, she is also ready to build lasting relationships. With her passion and experiences in tow, she covers municipalities throughout Oregon, Alaska, Idaho and Montana. Give her a shot to help you out.
Noel Burciaga
Service Technician
Pacific Northwest
Noel is relatively new to the water/wastewater industry. Nevertheless, he’s always been mechanically inclined and likes to work with his hands. He enjoys troubleshooting and solving problems. He’s also bi-lingual – with the ability to speak, read and write in Spanish. One of Noel’s passions is Japanese cars, especially Nissans (which he jokingly calls 90’s junk). He really likes tinkering with anything that has a motor. On the weekends, you can mostly find him at the local drift track events. If you run into him, he may invite you to ride along.
Greg Linn
A/R Specialist
In his time off, Greg enjoys traveling or being outside landscaping his yard (which he calls a jungle). Greg comes to us with many years in the construction industry. He is considered a full-charge bookkeeper and is excellent with A/R collections. If you need a copy of your invoice, he’s your guy!
Rick Smith
Industrial Territory Manager
Rick is the Industrial Territory Manager for TMG. He may be new to us, but Rick has a great deal of experience in the water & wastewater industry. He spent over 12 years with Grundfos pumps, and over 3 years with Hach - so he knows his way around a treatment facility.
If you can't tell from the picture, Rick is a serious Harley guy... too bad he can't carry demo equipment on the back of his hog!
And finally
Tom Gazdik
Founder and Principal
Tom is the T (and the G) in TMG Services. He has been helping engineers and end-users specify, design, install and troubleshoot and repair chemical feed systems for 35+ years. Tom loves to tinker, and someday he'll have our TMG demo trailer completed! Actually, Tom mostly does consulting these days. C'mon... 40 plus years is long enough to commute every day!
After 31 years of working in the drinking water business, I have found it’s far better to work with smaller companies like TMG. You get to know the company and the people better. By knowing and relying on the same service techs and office staff, they develop a history of your equipment and have a better understanding when something fails. You become one team that works together for failures, service and pricing of equipment. Thank You TMG for making my past working career successful. Myself and the City of Warrenton water customers Thank You - Bob B.
