About Boston

For more than 40 years Boston, Massachusetts has been the home and National headquarters for Gentle Giant moving company. After graduating from Northeastern University our Founder and President, Larry O’Toole, started Gentle Giant while living in Cambridge and in-between engineering jobs. Famous for institutions of higher education, Boston’s student population influences a highly diverse population as well as a constant influx of new residents to the city. September first has become notorious as the date that most apartment leases turn over and is the biggest moving day of the year in the Boston.

First settled in 1625 and later incorporated in 1822, Boston serves as the seat of many historical events and places from the American Revolution onwards. The age of the city and its residential neighborhoods have greatly influenced the growth of Gentle Giant and the way we execute moving jobs. From the tight alleys of the North End to the 5th floor walk-up apartments in the Back Bay, our challenging environments have forced us to innovate and excel to become the best movers in the city of Boston. We recruit individuals that possess the strength and stamina to move from one fifth floor apartment to another and deliver on our promise of exceptional customer service.

Boston is a culturally vibrant city with no end of events and attractions. Boston is home to many sports championships and teams including the Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins, and Patriots. Our rich history is reflected in the many art museums such as the Museum of Fine Arts, the Isabella Stuart Gardner Museum, and the Institute of Contemporary Art. 680,000 people are proud to call Boston home, and Gentle Giant is proud to move them there.

Somerville Group Manager
Mindaugas heard about Gentle Giant from his brother, Donatas, who worked at Gentle Giant during the summer on a J-1 visa. His favorite part of working at Gentle Giant is the people, both his colleagues and the customers whom he interacts with daily. Once he started at Gentle Giant, he felt he was in the right place and decided to continue a career here. He believes the Gentle Giant culture - including honesty, enthusiasm, teamwork, respect and going above and beyond - brings out the best in people and are the ingredients that every Giant is made of.

Outside of work, he enjoys motorcycles and the process of fixing them. He also enjoys traveling, fishing and being with his friends and family. His parents and his brother, Donatas, live in Lithuania.

Rolando Maldonado

Crew Chief
Rolando became a Giant in April 2014 and has gone from strength to strength ever since! He quickly progressed from mover to Crew Chief and credits the development program here at GG with making this a possibility. Rolando was connected to Gentle Giant through Parkour Generations where he was an athlete and teacher. His athleticism made him an obvious fit for GG given the physical and often strenuous nature of moving.

Rolando is a natural athlete and enjoys playing baseball, running track and, of course, lots of parkour outside of work.

Jeff Klossner is considered to be an “everyman” at Gentle Giant because he excels in all the areas that make a fantastic Giant. He is incredibly kind, patient, strong, experienced and smart.

Since joining the company in 2005, Jeff has played many roles, including mover, crew chief and group manager, and has shined in every one. Even when faced with extraordinarily difficult pieces, you’d never know because he handles these situations with grace and ease.

Outside of work, he enjoys hiking mountain peaks, both local and abroad, with his friends and wife, working on his house and reading a good book.

Our team from Gentle Giant were awesome! Very careful, efficient and sooo accommodating. They worked a long day but were tireless (I was exhausted...and I didn't do a thing!?). Heartily recommend - but you've got to get Michael & his team!

We were so very impressed by the services and support provided by Gentle Giant. We moved from Georgia to Arizona. They provided a great tool to estimate costs by assessing inventory room by room. Upfront, the planning was perfect.Will and Aurius packed us in Georgia. They were so professional and took great care of our items. Plus, they were personally delightful to work with.We moved some items to storage and some to our home in Arizona. The team of five Arizona-based “Gentle Giants” led by Brandon did a superb job with unpacking, storing, and setting up our home in Arizona. They were so flexible and extremely professional! AND the final price was under what we expected! Top performers from start to finish!

I wound up using GG through a furniture donation program and I am so impressed with how courteous and professional the team was, that I have already recommended GG to the Real Estate Agent who introduced me to the program. Not only did GG solve two sets of problems, but they treated us like paying customers, from the efficiency of the phone team to the friendliness of the moving team. Someday, when I move, I will call upon GG. Until then, I'll certainly recommend the GG team.

The two movers I received were entirely in sync, moving smoothly and efficiently together, sometimes without words, yet willing to give advice and help when asked.

I couldn't be happier with the service from this moving team! They handled everything with great care, and I was impressed by their professionalism and attention to detail. Every item arrived in perfect condition, exactly as it was packed, with no damage whatsoever. The movers were efficient, friendly, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and worry-free moving experience!

My move with Gentle Giants was exceptional. From the time I spoke with Bambi who took my information , gave an accurate estimate and arranged for a moving date that worked for me the service just got better and better.Nelu and Hansard were wonderful. They moved everything in an efficient and timely manner and there was absolutely no damage to anything.They measured the placement of my furniture and had everything in the exactly right place in the time allotted. They setup my TV and internet service and even vacuumed my bedroom carpet before putting the bed back into my room.These two guys could not have been nicer or more professional.The entire experience was great.

Darius and Cyrus came today to take things out of my home storage units and bring them to the storage I have with Gentle Giant. They were both efficient, kind, and very helpful. We worked together to coordinate and consolidate 4 home storage units into two. Both guys were well organized and very capable. I would highly recommend them- either individually or together.Ann :-)
