Gary is one of those old timers we all hope to be someday: retire early, move to the land of your boyhood dreams, and spend the rest of your life hunting and fishing. Born in raised on a farm in central Michigan, he completed his degree in Fisheries and joined the Army. In 1962 he married his sweetheart and spent 52 years with her and his two boys. His work as a fisheries biologist took around Michigan, including 18 years at the manger of the state's best trout stream, the AuSable River. In Gary's words, "If I had it to do all over again, I would have come to know the Lord a lot earlier and been a better husband and father. Everything else I would leave the same."
