About Gator Magnetics
It started in a garage—with a determined founder and his nephew who envisioned solving this problem: Traditional magnetic hooks always slip and slide when you hang anything heavy on them. That spark of curiosity led to late-night tinkering, endless sketches, and prototype after prototype. The result? A breakthrough combination of magnetic technology and a lever system that reimagined how magnetic hooks should work. Joined by friends and family we became a team of problem-solvers, all driven to bring this revolutionary idea to life. We landed on a smarter, stronger, and more flexible magnetic hook that magnetically hangs, holds, and organizes even the heaviest tools, gear, and everyday essentials. With our final designs in place and performance validated, we launched our proprietary, patented magnetic products—and everything changed. Gator Magnetics was born. Our debut at the National Hardware Show earned us the Retailer Choice Award, putting our innovation instantly on the map. Today, Gator Magnetics is transforming how people organize their garages, workshops, sheds, and beyond. And yes, we’re still inventing, still improving, and always thinking of what’s next.
Jon thrives on bringing new ideas forward, and as a lifelong entrepreneur, he’s fully embracing the Gator Magnetics startup journey. Grateful for the support of early adopters who have taken a chance on Gator, Jon revels in overcoming challenges while tapping into the creative process that drives innovation. Like his favorite childhood cartoon; Johnny Quest, Gator Magnetics blends adventure, advanced technology, and action in a way that appeals to Jon’s desire for pioneering and cultural impact.
Melissa is the glue that holds Gator Magnetics together, ensuring everything runs smoothly and every detail is in its proper place. With her eye on execution and her drive for efficiency, she keeps the Gator ship sailing in the right direction—on time and on target. Known for her servant's heart and a pantry always stocked for her kids and grandkids, Melissa brings care and dedication to everything she does.
Cole is the bridge between Gator Magnetics’ cool ideas and our customers’ organized realities. An authentic and masterful relationship builder with a genuine, joy-filled approach, he connects all things Gator to the people who love them. A lover of international travel, smoking steaks, golf, or time spent with friends and family, Cole is always pursuing excellence—whether it’s in business or perfecting his swing.
Rebecca is the mastermind behind Gator Magnetics’ innovative product designs, always dreaming up new ways to make our products stick (pun fully intended). When she’s not refining the latest Gator creations, she’s either tinkering with her motorcycles or chasing adventure on a scenic road trip.
Katlyn is the creative force behind Gator Magnetics’ growing fanbase, whipping up catchy campaigns and fresh ways to share our story of organization mastery. She’s the one keeping us inspired and driving us forward. Always ready for a little friendly competition, Katlyn is known for her game face—whether it’s Catan night or a heated Skip-Bo match. Also, ever present is her crazy dog Twitch.
Gator Hooks are not just magnetic hooks (frankly, traditional magnetic hooks don't really work as a hook should). Instead, Gator Magnetic Hooks are a patented technology that incorporates and transforms magnets... resulting in an incredibly unique product with unparalleled holding power. Who would have thought storage could be so fascinating? We are excited for the Gator Revolution.
