Ken Gasch’s
Whimsical, Quirky Machines
A self-described "military brat," Gasch spent much
of his childhood moving all around the country. Gasch started
his career as an engineer designing industrial forklifts, then
moved on to a consulting job where he worked with the beer brewing
industry. When his wife, Erin, decided to pursue her MBA at Duke
University, Gasch quit his job and the couple moved from Texas
to North Carolina. The move was pivotal, as Gasch decided to
pursue a career making whimsical machines designed to tell fortunes,
dispense gumballs, or any other purpose he dreams up through
his business, HLD Productions. Find out more HERE. |
