Gary was born in Iowa but grew up in Ft. Lauderdale. He spent his career doing business process redesign enabled by IT – a hybrid of IT, Industrial Engineering and Operations Research. Some of that time was in corporate – P&G, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Monsanto, and Xerox. Other work was in Private Equity with firms investing in distressed companies such as automotive and textiles.
His education includes a BA from Tulane, MA in Math from U. Penn and MS in Operations Research from Columbia.
He now lives in West Hartford with his wife Martha. He has two daughters and three granddaughters who all live close by.
He had the honor of being DMA’s president for 2020-21 through the first year of the pandemic and was the Speaker Chairman when the pandemic erupted. He was on the team that developed the capability of hybrid meetings – not knowing that it would allow him to remain active when he moved. He remains the webmaster for the DMA website. Outside of DMA, he enjoys sailing, hiking, politics, and woodworking.
