UNIONDALE, NY / ACCESS Newswire / October 23, 2025 / Dennis Topoleski has been honored by Marquis Who's Who for excellence in the glass industry. Drawing on a diverse professional background, Mr. Topoleski is known for his dedication, achievements and leadership. Since 2000, he has excelled as the chief executive officer of Easthampton Glass Inc., operating under the name Methvin's Glass. In this role, his responsibilities include installing showers, supervising installations and leading high-end installations such as wine rooms.

Mr. Topoleski's Professional Journey

Mr. Topoleski first developed an interest in craftsmanship while still in high school, when he refined his skills in woodworking and cabinetry. In 1991, he enlisted in the U.S. Navy and later pursued apprenticeships that would enable him to qualify for a college-level education. Although he received high scores on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery tests, he realized that military service was not his passion and returned to cabinetry work following his honorable discharge in 1993.

Mr. Topoleski launched his own business, Dr. Furniture, a furniture repair and restoration service that had grown to include two locations and six employees by the time he was 21. During this time, he built a reputation for specializing in color matching, antique furniture restoration and high-end furniture repair. In 2000, after several years in the business, he decided to consolidate his operations into a single location and purchased a glass shop where he had once been a customer.

After reviewing the glass shop's books and records, Mr. Topoleski identified ways to enhance its operations. Originally beginning with only one employee, he transformed Methvin's Glass through innovation and hard work, growing the company to achieve $3 million in annual revenue. In 2010, he incorporated the small glass shop under the name Easthampton Glass while continuing to do business under its original name. He also launched Fast Glass, a separate division specializing in frameless shower installations. Under his leadership, Methvin's Glass has continued to expand, growing to a team of roughly 20 employees.

In April of 2021, Mr. Topoleski was diagnosed with end-stage renal disease, requiring dialysis every other day to keep him alive until he is fortunate enough to receive a life-saving kidney transplant operation. This experience has put both life and business into a whole new perspective, leading him to put 110% into every task and project to cement a legacy that ensures his children, employees and their families will be provided for if he is no longer present.

Mr. Topoleski notes that he has accomplished more in the last three years than in the 10 before, explaining that facing one's mortality is a powerful motivator and that persistence and perseverance are key. He had planned his showroom for 15 years before making it a reality, which now strictly showcases showers, state-of-the-art glass coatings and films, as well as a section on safety equipment and handicapped accessories tailored for the luxury market at an affordable price.

This diverse professional journey is reflected in Mr. Topoleski's 10 years of experience as a competitive bodybuilder, during which he traveled across the U.S. competing. In 2002, he placed second in the NASF Open Nationals. The following year, he fulfilled a childhood dream of becoming an amateur boxer, training and fighting in the Philadelphia Gloves tournament.

In Mr. Topoleski's Personal Time

Outside of his work, Mr. Topoleski is an active member of various related organizations, including the National Glass Association, the Freemasons and the Shriners. He is committed to community service, which is highlighted through his volunteer work as a clown at The Shriners Hospital. His personal life is further enriched by his experiences as a father to two children.

With a resilient mindset guiding his professional journey, Mr. Topoleski attributes his success to hard work, dedication and persistence, qualities instilled by his mother, who encouraged him to experiment and create during his childhood. Looking to the future, he aims to continue growing his franchise, focusing on creating accessible solutions for individuals with disabilities while building a legacy as the gold standard in his field.
