The Rockweiler Team
Gary Rockweiler, President
Gary is the owner and founder of Rockweiler Insulation. He worked at another area insulation company for 13 years before he decided to start his own business. He has provided the vision and leadership to develop Rockweiler Insulation into what it is today. Gary is still very involved with daily activities, but is hoping to enjoy a little more free time in the next few years.
Gary grew up in Cazenovia, WI, but then moved down to Madison where he married his wife, Jackie, and began his career in insulation. They have been married for almost 40 years, have 2 daughters, and are both enjoying life as grandparents of 2 grandchildren. On any summer Friday night, you will find Gary at the local short-track racing facility supporting his favorite pastime - racing. He also enjoys golfing and attending Badger football and basketball games.
