Gary's first incarnation was an as Army officer for 26 years. During the latter half of the Cold War he planned and performed Special Forces operations, and covert and clandestine intelligence, counterintelligence and counterrorist operations on four continents. Later in his career Gary served on Director for Central Intellligence (DCI) policy-making committees where he assisted in formulating national policies for his operational specialties. Gary's second incarnation was as a successful small business owner. He consulted with some of the largest American and multinational corporations concerning their respective competitive postures, and on their long-term strategic business development activities. He is beginning his third incarnation as a fiction writer.

Two successful careers; a third underway. All the while being able to maintain at least observable evidence that he remains marginably sane and with a measurable sense of humor.
