business coach, and author. Recognized as one of the leading voices in the
hospitality and events industry, he was honored by Connect Meetings as one of
the "Top 15 over 50 Professionals in the Events Industry", and by

Gary's clients often refer to him as their
"strength and conditioning coach." He helps people and teams achieve
greater success, expand their creativity, and find that extra gear. For over 30
years, he has inspired hundreds of audiences and customer organizations from an
impressive array of diverse industries, specializing in critical business areas
such as sales, leadership, branding, team synergy, and customer service.
Gary's book "Twist the Familiar" (a
phrase he coined while presenting a sales workshop for a client group) was the
#1 "Top New Release" in its category when published in July 2024. One
of the unique benefits of his book that readers enthusiastically embrace is
that he helps them build their own playbook for success along the way, one
story at a time. The chapters are short, exciting, and transformative, drawing
the readers in via his immersive storytelling skills. Gary helps his readers
pull lessons that they can immediately apply to their own situations.
Writing has always been a passionate component
of Gary's development and career. He achieved his first byline as a sixth
grader writing for his school paper and won his first writing award from The
Detroit News as a senior journalism student in high school. He earned his
bachelor's degree from Michigan State University's School of Hospitality
Business, where he was lead writer and co-editor of ?The Hospitality Press??
magazine. He currently serves as chairman of the board and past president of
the school's alumni association.
After college, he crafted a successful 18-year
career in luxury hotels before founding his Training for Winners business in
1995. Gary was born in Texas, grew up in Michigan, and currently lives in
Northern California. He enjoys playing golf with family and friends, traveling,
supporting his favorite sports teams, kicking back to classic rock/pop music,
and making memories on family outings.
