Gail Moorcroft
Vice President
Began her Steeldeck® education in London, England in 1994. Became Rental Manager in 1995, built a fabulous client list, and then yearned for more excitement, better weather and yet more theatres, so left Blighty for the Big Apple in 2001.
Kristan Stone
Director of Design and Production
Kristan began manufacturing Steeldeck® in London in 1990, and plays a key role in the production, research, and development of our staging systems. He is very partial to antique motorbikes, and travels the world with them, to gather dust in new and more exotic climes.
Liv Odom
Fabrication Workshop Manager
Liv joined the Steeldeck® team in the Spring of 2018. With extensive fabrication and installation experience she wields almighty power in the workshop and onsite. Her love of efficient shop methods and training really have the team ruthlessly organized!
Taylor Tatom
Rentals Project Director
Taylor joined the Steeldeck® team in the Spring of 2022. With a background in Production Design she started her Steeldeck® journey as a Production Assistant and after plying the team with home made cookies worked her way up to be our Rental Manager and now is our Rentals Project Director!

A menagerie of magical creatures (including Loki the Pup) surrounds her desk and a fluffy pencil topper bobs away merrily as she efficiently oversees rental projects.

Heriberto Flores
Head Carpenter
Heriberto ‘Berto’ Flores joined Steeldeck® in 2008. He started in the rental department and is now our deck topping expert. He resides in “Berto’s Shop” (aka 143 Banker Street) and woe betide any team member who leaves decks or other equipment in his space……

Gerard Barrington

Gerard has seemingly been a Steeldeck® fixture forever. One of the (in)famous Barrington clan, he officially joined the Steeldeck® fabrication team in the Spring of 2022. He is another ‘double threat’ as he is very handy when working with the Rental team.
Moulaye Sylla

Amani Williams

Amani joined the Steeldeck® NY team in the Spring of 2023. When not making the warehouse run like clockwork or on-site installing Steeldeck® platforms, she wears many hats; first aid lady, Steeldeck® ‘stretch-circle’ advocate and elected warehouse “guard dog”. Amani loves all creatures great & small (except mosquitoes) and will rescue any animal in need, but will always protect her pack when necessary.
Antonio Castro
Assistant Warehouse Manager & Rental Team Associate
Antonio started with the Steeldeck® rental team in the Summer of 2019, then had a brief hiatus (like a lot of us folk in the Entertainment Industry). He then reappeared in the Summer of 2022. We are very happy he came back to us as he helps organize the warehouse getting you on your way in a New York minute and is just as comfortable installing Steeldeck® platforms in venues all around the Tri-State area and beyond.
Julio Maldonado
Transport Co-Ordinator & Rental Team Associate
Julio joined the Steeldeck® NY team in the Spring of 2023. He came to us with a great deal of driving experience so he is now responsible for all of the Steeldeck® fleet, especially our beloved flatbed, ‘Queen Victoria’ on which he ferries platforms to all our clients and Tri-State venues. After every shift he goes to the gym, sporting a cut-off Steeldeck® T-shirt.
Maia Gondre
Rental Team Associate
Maia came to Steeldeck® NY in the Fall of 2024. With a background in all things warehouse and delivery, this soft spoken team member is always eager to assist anyone who needs it. His diligence and respect for the job shines through when prepping your rental equipment in our Brooklyn warehouse. He is also a big Game of Thrones fan!

The newest four-legged member of the Steeldeck® team, Nixon joined us in January 2024 and greets employees and customers like long lost friends (who have treats).
Loki
Loki, the newest four-legged member of the Steeldeck® team, joined us in late 2025. He has a playful habit of stealing anything that isn’t screwed down. Throughout the day, he roams the office, greeting everyone with a cheerful yip and a warm hug.
Berry
Chief of Security
Berry came to us in 2008. He is extremely good at sleeping and staring at walls. He was a master at guarding all paperwork and the office with great attention to detail and has retired with Allan to Connecticut (to stare at trees instead of walls). RIP “Chief of Security.”
Wythe
HR Director
Wythe came to us in 2008, and sadly left us in 2017. She was very chatty and extremely good at catching mice. She was also a great escape artist and will be sorely missed, RIP our kittygirl.
