A native of the area, born and raised in Southwest Missouri, Gary graduated from McDonald County High School in Anderson, MO in 1990 and immediately thereafter joined the United States Navy. Throughout his nearly 5 year tenure therein he enjoyed vast travels and multiple deployments during times of peace as well as war. It was these experiences, coupled with new found faith, that brought Gary back to the area in 1995 on a permanent basis with a deeper appreciation, love and dedication to the area.
Shortly after returning Gary stumbled into his vocational passion of real estate as a Title Insurance Agent. Over the next 5 years, he mastered all aspects of the Title Insurance and Closing industry, eventually becoming the owner of a title company from early 2001 to mid-2010.
During this period, Gary transformed the company into a respected force in the region, resulting in a successful buyout by a larger corporation. For the following 13 years, he continued to contribute significantly, particularly in customer service, while managing different facets of the company. Which makes his transition to his current role as a Real Estate Agent a natural fit.
Gary's deep connection to and love of the Ozarks has formed a strong commitment and passion for the communities he serves. Currently, he is the President of the McDonald County Schools Foundation and a Board member of the Freeman Neosho Hospital.
Beyond his career, Gary is dedicated to helping others in all aspects of life including being actively involved in local, national, and international missions. His commitment to family, the Lord, and realizing others' real estate dreams is unwavering.
