Bill Gomer is the third generation of a family owned business that started in Great Falls, Montana, in 1938 by William A. Gomer (grandfather) and Bud Gomer (father). Bill began working in the family enterprise while still in grade school and learned all of the different functions of the business.

He attended Northern Montana College for two years before returning to manage the Great Falls diesel shop. Bill has been factory trained in all diesel fuel injection lines. In 1972, Bill and his father, Bud Gomer, decided to open a branch store in Missoula, Montana called Gomer’s Diesel & Electric, Inc. Bill moved to Missoula to manage the new store. In 1978, Bud and Bill, in a joint venture opened a third branch store in Belgrade, MT. Bud Gomer was a past A.D.S. (Association of Diesel Specialists) board member and Bill Gomer was also a long standing board member of the A.D.S. for many years.

Bill’s father, friend and partner, Bud Gomer, passed away in 1981 leaving Bill to oversee all three operations himself. So in 1996, Bill decided to sell the Belgrade operation to his store manager. Several years later it he decided to permanantly close the doors on the original Great Falls operation so he could entirely focus his efforts on the Missoula store. Bill currently resides in Missoula where he oversees the Missoula operation.

In year 1999, Bill brought two shareholders into the business; Scott Scheffer as Vice President and Richard "Moe" Johnson as Secretary/Treasurer. The corporation now employs 15 employees. Since we opened our doors in 1938, our goal has always been to keep up with modern technology and new changes. We feel we have met that goal and we are proud to still be going strong.

For over three generations, Gomer's Diesel & Electric has been committed to customer satisfaction in service, quality of products and parts, and competitive prices. This was a pledge that was good in 1938, and is still good today. Thank you for making our success possible.
William T Gomer, President

Roxanne - Accounting / Office Manager

Roxanne works here in an office behind a desk that usually has a big pile of really important papers on it. We have no idea what she does with those papers, nor do we really want to know. Here's a picture of her walking around Caras Park in Missoula with a very large bird. She's also holding a glass that probably contains iced tea or milk. We don't know what the story with the bird is. All we know for sure is that it involved a night in Tijuana and a restraining order.

Rob Jewitt - Sales

After his stint with the US Navy, Rob claims that he was honorably discharged before he settled down to go to work here with the rest of us. We'll just have to take his word on that. Rob works in the parts and sales department. If you are looking for some extra power from your rig, then Rob is the guy to talk to! He's pretty quick on his bike too. Here he is catching some air on his Yamaha YZ250F.

John "Yo" Sheagren - Sales

John (pictured on left) is looking extremely pleased with his slightly less "height challenged" companion (pictured right). John came to us from the great state of Michigan (Go Wolverines!) and is a graduate from the University of Montana. John is the guy you need to talk to when you can't find it anywhere else. His attention to detail makes him the kind of person you can count on. Whether you are looking for OEM parts or aftermarket performance, John can help you out.

Here's Jason taking a break and hangin' out with his Wife Christina and their son Waylon at Dyno Days '07. Jason is also factory trained and certified in many diesel fuel injection courses. He helps with many of the performance upgrades, rebuilds turbochargers, injectors and fuel injection pumps. Actually, Jason can repair just about anything from a pencil sharpener to a rocket engine! Jason is an enthusiastic technician who is known as a person you can count on to get the job done right and in a hurry. Jason loves to tackle those tough jobs that most people would try to stay away from.

Here's a picture of Jason hangin' out with his wife Heidi and their youngest boy Logan during Dyno Days '07. In case you weren't sure, Jason is the one on the right. I don't know what it is about guys named Jason wearing overalls in the 100° sun, but obviously hot chicks seem to dig it. Jason is our newest pump & injector technician. He came to the great state of Montana from Oklahoma in 1988. He has previously worked in most aspects of the construction industry with a few stops in other outlets before he decided to move to a less weather motivated career. He's not as young as he used to be, ya know!
Go Sooners!!!

You can tell by the look on JD's face that he takes inventory control very seriously. Every part that is accounted for has a little bit of JD's blood, sweat and tears on it. And we apologize for that, but it could probably be worse. And here's a little trivia about JD; If you ask him what "JD" stands for, he'll tell you that it doesn't stand for anything. But we happen to know that it really stands for "Junkyard Dawg".

Jim is our head auto tech. But don't be fooled by fancy names. Jim is a certified mechanic and an experienced gearhead who knows his business. You know you've got the right guy twisting wrenches when he also works on his own race cars at home in his spare time just for kicks. Basically, Jim likes what he does and he's damn good at it. So the odds are that if you're having us do a dyno run or a performance upgrade on your truck (or car) in our shop, Jim's going to make sure it get's done right.

Shawn became a certified Dodge technician in 2000, and we're very pleased to have him with us today. He is a Montana boy who knows what trucks need and his experience and knowledge with diesels is one you will come to know, love and trust. We could tell Shawn knew his stuff when he rolled into work with a toolbox that's larger than most peoples homes. (It even has a deck with a view off the back!) Shawn claims that it's not the size of the toolbox that counts though, but rather how you utilize the tools. (I'm still not convinced that he was talking about his toolbox.) But as you can see in the photo, Shawn is utilizing his favorite tools: a 2" combination wrench and a large detail knock-ometer for some precision repairs on a Duramax. You wouldn't believe what this guy can accomplish with those tools! We've even seen him replace a clutch in an '07 Dodge using nothing but a pair of pliers and his teeth.

We would like to officially welcome Terrence, or "T" as we call him, to our team. "T" is our new master shipping engineer, and he is well suited for the job. You see, "T" comes from family that has a long and proud history in the shipping business. His great great great grandfather, Duane Daniels (or "D") invented the first cardboard shipping container in 1890, and from there he started a strong lineage of grandchildren that are truly gifted in the art of shipping. "T" showed an interest in shipping at an early age. Like most children, he preferred to play with the boxes instead of what came in them at Christmas. His parents knew he would follow the family tradition when at age 9, he shipped the family cat to a friend in Wyoming. Later while attending High School, he actually shipped himself to Canada to avoid detention for setting the principal on fire. Now "T" uses his shipping skills to get our customers products to them in a safe and timely fashion. As "T" likes to say, "Our customers can expect a little extra "T"LC with every package that I send out."
