Ray Testa was the epitome of hard work and dedication, having worked his way up from a mailroom position at Equitable Gas to founding Trace Services in 1984.

His personal mission statement… “Whatever It Takes.” Ray, while raising his young family with his wife Betty, attended night school at the University of Pittsburgh, graduating in 1972. Trace Services grew to an organization that operated in several states with hundreds of employees during his tenure. An impressive career by any standards! Of course, this drive for success didn’t happen overnight – Ray credited it all back to the influence bestowed upon him by his father, Vincent Testa, who spent 49 years in the gas business working for Columbia Gas in Pittsburgh, PA. Today, the next generation continues the work that Ray began in 1984. Trace Services still operates with the same mission, Genuine people who do “Whatever It Takes” to get the job done safely and effectively daily.
