Born and raised in Kentucky, Gary fished Lake Cumberland with his dad for many years and looks forward to fishing the Cumberland River each year. Atlanta is home now, the corrugated packaging industry is where Gary spent the last 35 years, managing operations and a sales team. His love of flyfishing has taken him as far west as Kodiak Alaska, the North West Territory ,White River AR, the Elk River, Caney Fork TN and the Cumberland River in KY. A yearly adventure the Upper Pennisula MI always brings a nice catch. The Chattahoochee River is home for his love of fly fishing for trout and stripers, and the Etowah has brought recent success.

Gary is married with two children and four grandchildren. A fishing family that takes a yearly trip to the Gulf to enjoy salt water delights.
