Professional Biography: My career bridges defense, technology, leadership, and education. I began as a Missile Systems Analyst in the U.S. Air Force, mastering systems-level analysis and troubleshooting in high-stakes environments. As a Technical Training Manager, I led training teams in developing practical learning programs for Field Engineers in the medical diagnostic equipment field.
I have decades of experience with Project Management, driving cross-functional initiatives with a focus on innovation, efficiency, and business value. As Senior Vice President of Technical Operations, I led enterprise systems and technical teams, aligning operations with strategic business goals. My entrepreneurial spirit led me to launch a software development firm, delivering automation solutions to universities nationwide.
Following my industry work, I serve as a College Adjunct Professor of Business, mentoring future leaders and connecting academic theory with practical insight. Across every role, I believe I bring clarity, creativity, and a results-driven mindset—whether guiding teams, building systems, or inspiring learners.
Why Gary supports veterans through Live With Honor: Serving veterans through Live With Honor is deeply personal and profoundly purposeful for me. Veterans embody resilience, sacrifice, and service—values I strive to uphold in my own life and work. I’m passionate about helping them not just because they’ve served our country, but because they deserve systems of support that are clear, empowering, and dignified.
Through Live With Honor, I support those supporting the vets by blending my strengths in advocacy, education, and practical problem-solving in creating tools and resources that truly make a difference. I’m driven by the belief that every veteran deserves to navigate life after service with confidence, honor, and in some cases, support.
This work isn’t just about giving back—it’s about standing beside those who’ve already given so much.
Personal Note: If I could make a bumper sticker, it would read. “Just because you ran in circles doesn’t mean you moved forward. Effort is admirable, but results are what pay the rent.”
