Gay Triano

Sales Associate

Gay has been a dedicated, loyal, full time sales associate with Show USA for 10 years.  She started in the corporate office in Palm Desert, working with the founder, Richard Walters, in 2001 and listening to his jazz and enjoying Richard’s jokes was a bonus.“ I learned from the best! Richard is a great teacher, friend and boss! It is my privilege to be a part of Shows USA‘s family and I look forward to many years to come.” 

In mid 2003 she moved to Del Mar, Ca. This move allowed her to better serve the many exhibitors in Southern California.  Gay has a positive/upbeat personality and really enjoys working with people. Growing up in Manhattan, New York City with an Italian Mama and a Southern Dad adds a lot of flavor to Gay’s character.  Her enthusiasm and commitment to her profession is contagious.

Gay developed her sales skills by selling real estate in Northern California for thirteen years. She sold residential homes, townhouses and condos in the San Francisco Bay area and modular homes and land in the Lake Tahoe Resort area. During her time as a sales agent, she also worked as an international flight attendant. After leaving San Francisco, she moved to Palm Springs, Ca and worked as sales manager in the meat and fish department of a major food chain located in Palm Desert.

Gay sincerely enjoys working with and assisting in creating a wonderful and festive venue for Shows USA’s exhibitors. As a fringe benefit she shops and attains new ideas for her passion for remodeling and decorating her home with all the wonderful things she sees at the shows.

For relaxation, Gay enjoys walking on the beach, pilates/yoga, reading, traveling, opera, music/jazz, and a good swing on the dance floor. Gay also has two lovely daughters Chelsea and Lindsay whom she has raised on her own for sixteen (17) years since being widowed. We are all in the “Show Business”.

Please feel free to call Gay. She is always willing, ready and able to help you with any questions you may have about exhibiting with Shows USA. It’s Showtime! We’ll see you at the show!
