Two longstanding goals have guided Gnome’s work since day one:
- Make our employees happy.
- Make our customers happy.
That focus was founded upon our identity as a family business that has always put people first. Founder Rick Campbell grew the company from that vision, treating each employee with the same warmth, respect, and expectation of personal integrity that he shared with every one of his customers. That was the lesson that Rick passed onto Todd & Chace when they first began working at Gnome—and still champion as the company’s owners today. Our staff’s uncompromising commitment to craftsmanship, customer service, and community support reflect our pledge to continue to honor the principles that have kept Gnome growing strong.
