Horn’s Hayes Ace Hardware
Mike Gaskins
Store Manager
Born and raised in Hampton, Mike grew up to be quite the handyman. As an adult, he began his career in custom design and fabrication. Before joining the Horn’s Ace family of stores, Mike worked in contractor sales for a lumber company.
In 2022, we were fortunate to welcome Mike as an associate at our Gloucester location, where he quickly impressed us with his strong work ethic and willingness to tackle everyday challenges. So, when we opened our Hayes location, it was a no-brainer to offer Mike a management position.
When asked what he enjoys most about working for Horn’s Ace, Mike says it’s helping customers find exactly what they need to complete their projects. He also loves the extensive grilling department at Horn’s Hayes Ace and especially enjoys hosting grilling demos.
When he’s not at work, you’ll find Mike spending time with his wife and two sons. He treasures every moment with his two granddaughters. His hobbies include grilling, woodworking, and designing and building custom projects.
