Keeping it Squared

Mark Gunter owner of Gorge Granite Works in the Port of The Dalles goes over measurements with Mauricio “Mo” Carrera earlier this year. Carrera, 19, is a 2020 graduate from The Dalles High School. When Carrera is not marking and cutting new kitchen and bathroom countertops, he said he enjoys riding motorcycles and playing flamenco guitar. Gunter, originally from Georgia, said his family has quarried granite for years. He originally came to the northwest pursuing a career in fisheries before he became his own boss and began doing custom Granite work. Rumor has it Mark and the crew have a pretty good BBQ on Fridays from time to time.
