- Foreman Glazier ( the Main Man )
Ricci has been working with glass for the past 33 years. He started working at his uncles' glass shop at the age of 15. He continued to grow and learn a diverse number of glazing systems and other residential window replacement techniques for the next 16 years in local glass shops. In 1999 he joined the Local 718 Glaziers Union and worked up until he became part of the R&S Family in 2005. He has been an incredible addition to our team ever since. Ricci has an excellent reputation with our General contractors out in the field. He is able to meet the demands of tight schedules and communicate and solve any issues that arise in the field by partnering with the superintendents instead of becoming their adversary. His experience out in the field is priceless and a tremendous part of our success and excellent reputation.
Rick has over 35 years in the glazing industry. For the past 20 years his main focus has been on estimating and managing commercial projects that range from basic storefront entry systems to very complicated curtainwall systems. He has completed several design build projects which includes wineries, schools, and private residences in the Napa Valley. He has extensive knowledge of many different glazing applications and products which helps our clients find the right fit for their projects. Spending 10 of the 35 years as a journeyman glazier and having extensive field knowledge, Rick is able to partner with his clients and help them to be proactive in addressing any field challenges. All of these skills help our clients to have successful, on time, quality, and complete projects. Since the start of R&S in 2004 we have completed over 400 commercial projects and our business has continued to grow. I believe that this is because we partner with our clients to procure whatever glazing products they need then have them installed on the job promptly, professionally, and within budget.

Sheridan Gonsalves went into welding and fabrication out of high school. This gave him a great education in math and layout, and he also learned the properties of different types of metals which is useful as most glazing systems have a metal component. In 2006 his father hired him at his glass shop and his glazing career began. Working as a glazier under his father's supervision he learned the residential side of the trade, some light commercial, and eventually specialized in showers and mirrors. With an eagerness to please and an excitement for the glazing industry he is a great partner to achieve success in your glazing projects
