Meet Our Leadership Team
Gary Schwankl - Founder & Co-Owner
Gary Schwankl founded Office Furniture EZ after a long career working in and managing businesses in California, Montana, and Colorado. A U.S. Army veteran, Gary is also the veteran owner behind Office Furniture EZ’s Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business certification.
Gary has always believed that doing good business is pretty simple. Know your trade. Treat people fairly. Do what you say you are going to do. And stand behind your work.
Even after all these years, Gary is not a hands-off owner. He still works directly with customers, helps solve space-planning problems, visits projects, and spends time at both the Denver headquarters and the Colorado Springs showroom. He has worked on everything from a single office to large, complicated installations for businesses and government organizations across Colorado.
Gary also has never thought of the people Office Furniture EZ serves as simply customers. He thinks of them as business partners. When a company comes to EZ, the goal is not just to sell them desks and chairs. It is to understand how their people work, what the business needs today, and where it may be headed next. If the right furniture and a better-planned workspace can help that business run a little better, Gary considers that part of the job.
That mindset is also why so many customers come back when they grow, move, add employees, or open another location. Gary values those long-term relationships and takes a lot of pride in seeing Colorado businesses succeed over the years.
Office Furniture EZ is a family business, and Gary is the person who set the tone for how the family does business. His name is on the company, his sons are part of it, and its reputation in Colorado is personal to him. At the end of the day, he wants people to feel good about calling Office Furniture EZ, not just when they buy the furniture, but years later when they need help again.
Tim Schwankl - Vice-President of Operations
Tim Schwankl is the guy who helps keep Office Furniture EZ moving, both behind the scenes and out in the field. As Vice President of Operations, he works closely with Gary on the day-to-day business while also making sure customers get the service and follow-through they were promised.
Tim’s responsibilities cover a lot of ground. He helps manage the less glamorous but essential parts of running a business, from accounting and purchasing to scheduling, vendors, deliveries, and the countless details that have to line up every day. At the same time, he keeps a close eye on active customer projects and works with the team to make sure plans turn into finished workplaces.
He also oversees the delivery, assembly, and installation team, coordinating the people and schedules needed to get furniture from the warehouse to the customer and installed properly. He works closely with the sales and design side of the business so that what is planned on paper can actually be delivered, assembled, and made to work in the real world.
Watching Gary manage the family business gave Tim an early understanding that office furniture is not just about desks and chairs. A delivery has to arrive when promised. Pieces have to fit the space. Installers need to understand the plan. And when something unexpected happens, somebody has to take responsibility for getting it sorted out.
Tim supports projects throughout Colorado, including both the Denver and Colorado Springs markets. Much of what he does happens behind the scenes, but his impact is easy to see when a complicated project comes together smoothly.
As Gary’s right-hand man, Tim has a hand in both the daily operation of Office Furniture EZ and the customer experience that comes out the other side. His job is to help keep the business running well so the team can do the same for the businesses they serve.
Will Garth - Office Space Design Consultant
Will Garth helps customers answer one of the most important questions in an office furniture project: Will all of this actually work in my space?
Will specializes in office space planning and workplace design. He regularly works with measurements, floor plans, furniture specifications, and design tools including CAD, CET, and GIZA to create detailed 2D and 3D layouts. Those plans allow customers to see how offices, workstations, conference areas, storage, and other furniture can fit together before anything is ordered or installed.
But Will’s job is not simply drawing boxes on a floor plan. He spends time understanding how people use their workplace, where they need privacy or collaboration, what needs to fit within the budget, and how the space may need to change as the organization grows.
He has worked on projects of many sizes and brings a practical eye to each one. Sometimes the best solution is not the most expensive furniture or the most complicated layout. It is the one that works well for the people who are going to use it every day.
Will also works with a specialized part of the business focused on office seating for first responders and other professionals who spend long hours at a workstation. He helps departments evaluate chairs built for demanding, around-the-clock environments, bringing the same practical approach to comfort, durability, fit, and long-term use that he brings to larger workplace projects.
Will takes the trust customers place in Office Furniture EZ seriously. His goal is to give people thoughtful advice, help them avoid costly mistakes, and design a workplace the team can be proud to put its name behind.
