Meet the GaugeSavers
Eric Clayton (Uncle Bob)
A Military Veteran with an Electrical Engineering Degree and a Boating Problem
“Back in 2016, necessity led to invention when my fishing partner asked me if I could fix his gauge or replace it with a new one. After some extensive research on how to fix a faded LCD, it was a success. A few online folks asked me to save their gauges, and a few led to a dozen, and so on.” A tinkerer at heart, Eric began a journey of reverse engineering different gauges, and soon enough GaugeSaver was born. As a website led to more business, GaugeSaver became an LLC, and in 2020 Eric was able to say goodbye to his IT Career and save gauges full time. When not at work, you might find him searching for the best deals on Craigslist, cruising around on the St. John’s river, or taking a nap with his new puppy Merlin.
Tammy Clayton
Hardworking Mother of 2 and Office Manager
With a background in IT and years of experience in office management, Tammy is the backbone of the office. Way back in 2017, she left the IT field and began helping GaugeSaver grow out of her home office. Tammy is the helpful, pretty voice you’ll hear when you call GaugeSaver. When not at work Tammy can be found watering her many orchids, knitting a blanket, or watching documentaries with her cat Abby.
Marcelo Da Costa
Born in Brazil and now a proud US citizen, Marcelo is a mad scientist who can pretty much do anything. From carving beautiful birds, to custom fabbing offroad tractors, Marcelo does it all. When not saving gauges, Marcelo might be found in his Nautic Star catching nothing but catfish or cooking some meat on his homemade smoker.
Tulim Silva
A recent member of Team USA, Tulim left Brazil to pursue a career in electronics. Tulim is a gearhead and very adept behind a set of tools. He’s also an amazing electronics technician and excellent chef. When not at work Tulim might be found at the sandbar near his 17″ SeaHunt center console, strumming an imaginary electric ukulele.
Micaela Snell
Now a new mother of a beautiful baby girl, Micaela still livens up shop with her enthusiasim each day. Her variety of knowledge and experience is a great asset to the company; not to mention her terrific customer service skills. On her off time, you may find her cruising to the sandbar in her Hydra Sport , camping in their toy hauler while kicking up dirt on the SXS or playing with her Shiba Inu.
Justine Johns
New to Team Gauge Saver, Justine jumped right in when we needed her. She may live out in the boonies but doesn’t mind the drive. She’s a mom to a lil 3yr old that sports his Bass Pro Shop hats, loves riding the trails with her soon-to-be hubby Tripp, on their SXS or fishing in the pond and then cooking up some venison.
Jeremy Schmidt
Newest team player, Jeremy brings extensive technical knowlege that just might take Gauge Saver to another level! Newly married, he tries to find time to bike some trails, SCUBA dive, learn to surf, fixing up their ‘fixer-upper’ and getting gardening tips from Marcelo, the master gardner!
Merlin (Director Of Greetings)
Nothing will ever replace our favorite best friend Jeb dog, but Merlin sure comes close.
Half beagle, half chihuahua, and half hyena, Merlin will be sure to greet your shoes at the door with some nibbles.
Five (Client Acquisition Technician)
Five wandered up to the shop skinny and flea-ridden, but now shes getting lots of love and food from the GaugeSaver team. If you stop by, she will be patiently waiting on the counter for some attention!!
