Gary Richardson is the president and owner of TFW, and has been running it since April 1983. He has a Bachelor of Business Administration degree from the University of North Texas (1966), majoring in Administrative Management with a second minor in Economics and English.

From 1966 to 1973 he was a Merchandise Manager for Montgomery Ward, Inc. And from 1973 to 1983 he progressed through District Manager, Regional Manager, and Asst. Vice President of Operations for H. J. Wilson Co., Inc., where he supervised 18 catalog showrooms (later bought out by Service Merchandise).

Gary's experience has brought him not only a vast knowledge of computer technology, but also knowledge of knowing how to make his customers happy before and after the sale.

Gary and his wife, Betty (company secretary), have three children, and two grandchildren. Two of their children are A&M graduates, and one is a UNT graduate. Their oldest is a waiter at the Brownstone, the second is a manager for House of Forgings, and the youngest works in network operations for CSC / Raytheon. When Gary and Betty aren't busy working at TFW they are dancing, and spending their time with each other. You can often find them at SSQQ (www.ssqq.com) where they love to country western dance and take classes.

Gary is very skilled in building, repairing and upgrading today's computers. His specialty is the sales end, and helping each customer discover their needs. Gary also teaches most of the classes.
