As a young tile setter working on San Jose's growing housing tracks of the 1950's, Gary "Moe" Daley found he didn't like the dry skin you got working with thin set and grout, so he asked the tapers down the street if he could work with them. Soon, he was an accomplished Journeyman Union Taper running the housing track earning $14,000/year. In 1963, he decided he could do it better than his employer. He quit and started Daley's Drywall & Taping Inc., along with wife Sally, who quit the phone company to do the books while raising their kids.
John Silveira, Construction Manager, began working for Daley's Drywall when he started his career in the construction industry in 2003. He completed his union apprenticeship as a drywall/lather. Then he worked his way up to Foreman and eventually was hired to work in the office as an Estimator and Project Manager.
