Melissa and David, owners of TGP Services, have built their business on a simple yet heartfelt foundation: gratitude. After 24 years of marriage and 20 years in the Gallatin Valley, they set out to start a company with a clear mission. For them, being “grateful everyday” is not just a tagline; it’s a way of life, deeply engrained in their personal and professional relationships. Their two sons, 23 and 16, have been essential in this journey of gratitude and compassion—one of them even works at TGP Appliances with the Melissa and David—making the business a true family affair.
Gratitude is at the center of everything they do. “Gratitude is a verb,” David explains. It’s something that must be demonstrated, not just spoken. This philosophy shines through in their commitment to treating every customer, employee, and community member with respect and genuine care. David and Melissa recently partnered with Kimball Appliance with dreams of taking their mission across Montana, making it a point to do good for as many people as possible, not just themselves.
When it comes to their personal lives and their business, Melissa and David believe in “mutual advancement”—building relationships that benefit everyone involved. They emphasize the importance of keeping promises, being a good community member, and serving others whenever possible. Whether is supporting the food bank or just a single person in need, they hope to always use their business as a vehicle for positive impact.
TGP Appliance wants to keep their message simple: in a world full of constant challenges, gratitude is the key that opens doors to opportunity, success, and a sense of belonging. For them, the most important part of life comes down to the relationships you have with others. Their dedicating to fostering genuine connections has made them not only successful business owners but also leaders in cultivating a culture of thankfulness.
