Bio

Gary is a lifelong entrepreneur and long-term corporate worker with experience in many levels of management and leadership. Skilled in information technology, he is considered by many to be a GEEK or, as Gary calls it, God’s Electronic Equipment Keeper. He also has an extensive background in marketing. Gary built two traditional businesses, both dealing with cassette tapes (remember those?) He also reached respected positions of leadership with several home-based marketing firms and is currently working to help others establish a stable "Plan B" income. As a career and business coach, Gary encounters individuals suffering from job burnout, frustration, and dissatisfaction. Gary uses his God-given gifts of wisdom, encouragement and creative thinking to help each person refocus, retool, reposition, and rediscover all they already possess to achieve success. Gary has been active in church since his late teens, serving on everything from sound boards to church boards. Gary and his wife have been married for 43 years. They have two married children and three grandchildren. Gary finds joy in serving others directly and behind the scenes.
