Welcome Our Two Newest Technical Advisors

Daryl joined Gougeon Brothers in May 1999 and spent 27 years in operations, most recently as a team leader, before moving to the Technical Department in June 2026. He didn’t know what epoxy was when he started. Now there’s little he won’t try it on, from casting parts in silicone molds to building composite fenders for his bikes. A motorcycle safety instructor and natural experimenter, he’s always looking for a better, easier way to get the job done. Daryl credits his parents for his drive to help people. Whether a call comes from California or Canada, he wants every customer to hang up confident that their project will work and last.

Raised in Bay City, Michigan and on the water at Secord Lake, Jerred brings a background in R&D, lab testing at Dow, and customer service management. Most of his epoxy experience comes from 15 to 20 years of repairing vintage stand-up jet skis, often with G/flex^® Epoxy. He’s owned 30 to 40 of them and has raced a few at Lake Orion.

He loves that no two days are alike, balancing hands-on shop work with helping customers solve problems. Off the clock, you’ll find him camping with his family, including two daughters, or adding to his vintage childhood collectibles.
