Professionalism and Talent

Mr. Gate of Florida is a locally owned and operated company located in Panama City, Florida.

It is owned and operated by Joshua Glover who has been involved in the fence and gate industry since he was 8 years old. Joshua's father and stepfather have both been in the fencing industry for over 30 years so Josh naturally learned extensively from them through hands on training. In addition to his experience gained through his family, Josh is also an active member of the American Fence Association. He has served on several committees and is the Chair of the "Operations Manager Committee" which put together the OMS School and OMS Certification through ACI. Josh travels the country working with other fence contractors to help them improve their business and the industry. In 2022, Josh was awarded the Ambassador Award for his service as a volunteer to the industry.

After working for more than 10 years in the underground coal mines of western Kentucky, Joshua and his wife Lauren moved to Panama City with their 4 children in 2019. Shortly after, Mr. Fence of Florida was born. The company was started and built around the idea that they were building a customer service company, that also installs fences. For the first year, they ran the office out of their kitchen and dining room as they poured their hearts and souls in to building what they believed would be a fence company second to none.

2 years after the successful launch of Mr. Fence of Florida, he saw a need for a reputable Automated Gate and Access Control Company in the area that also holds customer service at its core. As a result, Mr. Gate was born. The synergy between both Mr. Fence and its specialized division for Automated Gates and Access Control was apparent. Mr. Fence and Mr. Gate have become the "one stop shop" for all things related to perimeter security.

Quality control and customer satisfaction are at the very core of the organization and extend outward. Mr. Gate uses no sub-contractors, all of the team members are full time hourly or salary individuals that go through continuing extensive training in order to stay on the cutting edge of installation techniques and provide the highest value possible to their customers. With these solid core beliefs and an outstanding team, Mr. Gate is able to offer an industry leading warranty with our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee! Buying a product from either company ensures that you are supporting OUR community!

Joshua Glover

President

As President of Mr. Fence of Florida and Mr. Gate I am blessed to lead such a talented team of individuals. Each of them bring different strengths to our team and have one united primary focus -- Customer Satisfaction. At the core of our organization, we define ourselves as a customer service company that also installs fences and gates. This permeates through the entire company as one of our core values.

After working in the underground coal mines of Western Kentucky for 10 years, I entered the fence industry following in the footsteps of my father and step-father who both worked in the Industry for over 30 years. As an active member and volunteer in multiple trade organizations, I am currently the only person in the country that holds every certification available for fence and automated gate installation. As a husband and father of 4 I enjoy relaxing with my family, fishing in the Gulf, land management and private aviation.

Dennis Blake

Certified Gate Technician

My name is Dennis Blake and I have worked for Mr. Gate for over a year now. Over the past 23 years, I've worked in factories and in the coal mines in Kentucky as a maintenance technician, but I specialize in electrical/electronics which makes me very qualified for this job. I enjoy keeping up with all the new technology that can operate the gates and make life easier for the user/homeowner.

Over the years, I've lived in many towns in multiple states, but I'm happy to call Florida my home. I love the plethora of activities available in Gulf County and the surrounding areas. My wife Joanna and I like to do anything at or on the beach to unwind (except when my football is on lol). We also love to try new places to eat, visit the shops owned by the locals and have fun at the many different hangouts with friends or by ourselves.

Taylor Sparks

Social Media Marketing Manager

3 years into my journey with Mr. Fence of Florida my title and job responsibilities have changed a handful of times, but I have made sure that each task that has been thrown my way or that has landed into my hands has been completed and knocked out of the park. I currently run all our Social Media platforms; and I help when needed with all other office responsibilities. I make sure that we have updated photos of every job, team member, and anything else we have going on around here.

When I am not updating statuses, responding to Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Twitter messages, making our team members be TikTok creators, or pinning away on our Pinterest page, I enjoy being the best dog mom and trying my best to keep my plants alive. I have been married to my husband for 10 years and together for 18 and he hasn't been poisoned yet so that's good. The best part about being in the position that I am in is interacting with and getting to know each one of our Team members here at Mr. Fence of Florida.

Gabby McIntosh

Receptionist

I was a military wife for 8 years moving all from Washington State to now Florida with my husband of 10 years now and our 2 children. We have been living in Florida for a few years now and love all the beautiful beaches and all the excitement that comes with living here. All while we have been here my husband, Tyler and I have been running a rental car company and now I am in full support of his real-estate career. Being a mom to my two wild kids is the best thing I could ask for! Between running to the sports fields or putting on ballet or tap shoes, we are always heading out to play in the water! That is why we love Florida so much because there is plenty of places and the weather is so nice year round!
