Gary Scott
Gary is the president of the Idaho Gold Prospector Association and a dear friend. Gary spent most of his professional career in the printing industry after joining the United States Marine Corp in 1966 and touring Vietnam for thirteen months.
He attended Pasadena City College for two years to study the printing industry and in 1973 was hired out with the Union Pacific Railroad in the Los Angles area. In 1977 he found his way to Pocatello, ID and continued to work for the railroad until he retired in 2006. Thirty-three years of riding the rails made time fly. In 2006 Gary and his wife, Shirley, moved to the Boise area to be closer to Shirly’s family and grandkids.
Trying to find something to keep him busy during his retirement years, Gary thought that gold prospecting might be for him. He joined The Gold Prospectors Association of America, out of California. Then joined the two Boise area gold clubs; Idaho Gold Prospectors Association and The Idaho GPAA. The things he likes most about prospecting are meeting all the nice friendly people, being outdoors and camping with friends, and digging up the yellow metal GOLD. He sees it as Jackpot or Las Vegas, pulling the handle on the one arm bandit – not knowing what going to come up. Each and every pan of dirt is different!
Devin DeMeyer
Before joining the Summit Mining family, Devin had recently picked up gold mining as a hobby. And although he had only found a little color at the time he was certainly intrigued by the hunt. Through his research and experience he had acquired a fair amount of knowledge and understanding of the field, including small scale mining equipment, their functions, operating theories, and procedures.
He’s a highly skilled welder and fabricator with the majority of experience in the auto-body field. He studied Collision and Refinishing technology, Custom Paint, and Street Rod and Custom Fabrication at Wyotech in Sacramento, CA. After graduating he worked at Ferrari of Beverly Hills Collision Center and then Robz Ragz Customs and Classics once he moved back to Idaho.
We’re thrilled to have both, Gary & Devin, on board! Each of their skill sets are an asset to our company and their fun, lively personalities are definitely appreciated around the shop. And the best part: having these two extra sets of hands enables us to produce more equipment for you to enjoy!
