Our Team

Larry Gibbons
​Managing Senior Partner

Larry Gibbons grew up in the Holiday area and learned the value of hard work at a young age. After a failed newspaper route attempt, he developed a business idea to buy and sell anything of value. He specialized in dirt bikes and other recreational vehicles. While still in his teens, he learned the importance of buy low and sell high and supply and demand. 

​After high school, Larry attended Dixie State University and then served a church mission. Upon returning, he went to BYU Idaho.

Before starting in the document destruction business, Larry had served several different roles in the waste and recycling field. He began with BFI in 1995 as a territory sales rep and worked his way up to a regional sales manager position working out of Scottsdale, Arizona. After 13 years in the waste business, Larry moved to the recycling side. He enjoyed saving people money through diversion efforts and making the world a better place because of the reduction in waste. Seeing an opportunity in 2012, Larry and three partners started Rocky Mountain Document Destruction. This business has had double-digit growth since the first year and continues to be a solution for Utah.

To have knowledge and experience in the shredding industry Larry Gibbons has completed the shred school taught by Ray Berry. This Shred school taught the basics along with NAID certification. NAID stands for the National Association of Information Destruction. NAID is the governing body that holds shredding companies accountable for sensitive document destruction. With your certification, you agree to random background checks, drug tests, and a very detailed auditing process. RMDD has to re-qualify every year for this certification. 

​One of the benefits Larry has enjoyed with this business is involving the whole family. He has taken every one of the kids to do shred jobs and helps them earn summer money by cleaning out recycling cans. His wife is involved in the day-to-day business and contributes time, insights, and a lot of effort.

Marvin Acey
Managing Senior Partner

Marvin grew up in the Murray area of Salt Lake City. He learned early to turn his hobbies into income, and his first job was at Mick Riley Golf Course. This provided not only a wage but also free golf and access to some great people. Marvin enjoys most outdoor activities, from camping, hunting, golf, mountain biking to just spending time outdoors with his family.
 
After his marriage to his wife Kim, Marvin took a job at a small recycling company called Utah Recycling as a driver. He figured this would be a good fit to finish school and then move on to what he wanted to do. Marvin got to see many different aspects of this business as he worked his way through school while raising a young family. Through some hard times and long hours, Marvin attained his degree from the University of Phoenix in 1997 in Business Administration while still working at this temporary job. 
 
In 1999 the company was acquired by Allied Waste; this didn't seem like a good fit. Some key members of management had plans to start up their own business. Marvin was fortunate to find a way into this group, and they formed Rocky Mountain Recycling in late 1999. This business had its ups and downs, but after nearly 21 years was sold to CellMark, whom they had worked with in partnership for many years. Marvin stayed on to be the General Manager of the new Rocky Mountain Recycling Services Company.
 
During his time at Rocky Mountain Recycling, the partners had created value and some new entities; Rocky Mountain Recycling Holdings (2003), Paper and Plastic Partnership (2005), and Rocky Mountain Document Destruction (2012).  In 2018 Marvin and Larry decided to buy out the other partners from the document destruction business and have been operating and growing it for the last two years.
 
Nearly 30 years later, the temporary job with health insurance has let Marvin have so many opportunities and provided for his family. He now has three children with Kim; Jordan (26) and Jacob (twins, Jacob deceased) and Maison (25). Through all of this, his family is the most important thing, and a reason he is where he's is in his life.
