Anthony Gemma

Bio

Born in Providence, RI, the son of Larry and Gloria Gemma, I began my plumbing career at the age of 10, with my father by my side as my teacher and mentor. I graduated cum laude from Suffolk University in 1992 with my BS in Legal Argument/Communications. I continued my law education at Roger Williams University School of Law and graduated in 1998 with my JD. I am currently admitted to practice Law in RI and Federal Court. I returned to Gem Plumbing in 1999 as Executive Vice President and CEO, and in 2000, I was appointed to the position of President, where I remain today. My team and I have embarked on many journeys including the establishment of the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation, a 501(c) 3 non profit breast cancer foundation created in memory of my mom who died from this disease in 2002. I assisted in the development of the Gem Institute for Performance Excellence, a learning organization with a mission to provide guidance to organizations throughout the United States, relative to performance excellence. In 2006, I led an endeavor to create The FOCUS 500â„¢ Program which would allow Gem the ability to share valuable business knowledge with other companies. My team and I also created an innovative vehicle tracking system using state of the art technology. In 2008, we established the Gem On Time Traffic Center in an effort to make good on a promise that if you needed service, we would be on time. Today, the Gem On Time Traffic Center provides exact time, up to the minute traffic reports for most all Southern New England radio stations. In addition, The Media Buying & Marketing Bureau was incorporated into the mix in an effort to provide companies with expert, out of the box creative marketing solutions.
