OUR STAFF
Steve Gardner — Owner/Operator/Installer
TNT Window Tinting is owned and operated by Steve Gardner. Since Steve
was younger, he has always been into cars. It was natural for him to
pursue a career geared toward automotive accessories. Steve saw the
need to supply the Madison area with quality auto tinting and paint
protection at fair rates with friendly service. Word of mouth got around
that Steve did a great job and his small shop in Cottage Grove quickly
grew. Quality has always been the main focus at TNT. To maintain the
highest standards possible, Steve is involved with every installation at our
shop and has added one very skilled installer (Ryan) to our crew. Steve
has known Ryan since 1998 and trusts the work he produces because Ryan
had taught Steve how to tint back in 1998. So at TNT you never have to
trust the work of a subcontractor or underskilled installer.
When Steve is not at the shop working, he is more than likely working on
one of his own vehicles or working on his side job, PROfit Armor. Steve's
hobbies include riding his motorcycle, traveling, frisbee golf, and going to
concerts. He values time with good friends and family. In the winter he is
usually out snowboarding.
Ryan Scott — #1 Window Tinter
TNT is very happy to have Ryan Scott on our team. Ryan brings with him
many, many years of window tinting experience. He originally started
tinting windows back in 1994. Since then he has worked at different tint
shops in the area (and for a couple years down south). Ryan knows all the
tricks of tinting and is a very skilled installer. He actually was the person
who had taught our owner Steve how to tint windows back in 1998!
When Ryan isn't tinting windows at TNT, he enjoys spending time with his
wife and two children. He is an avid Packer and Brewer fan and when he
has free time he likes to be out in the woods doing some bow hunting.
Afton Hoeper — Office Manager/Shop Assistant
When calling in to get a quote or schedule an appointment, you will
probably speak with her. Afton enjoys helping customers find the right
window tint to best suit their needs and likes to teach others about the
benefits of tinting and paint protection. She has been in the auto tinting
industry for many years and can answer any questions one might have
about window tinting and paint protection. She also helps out in the shop
as much as possible, assisting Ryan and Steve prepping vehicles for tinting
and paint protection. She also spends a lot of time in her office e-mailing
quotes and doing paperwork.
Afton grew up in the auto parts industry and couldn't see herself working
anywhere unless it involves the automotive world. In her free time Afton
enjoys spending time with friends, family, and her dog Squeak. She enjoys
traveling, going to concerts, gardening, and working on her project car. If it
is snowing, she'll be out snowboarding or planning an escape to a beach
far away! =)
