I have known Gary for almost two decades. Since having the privilege of working with Gary day to day, I've learned that he is the real deal consultant. He has amazing instincts, a great network and a demeanor that makes him easy to like and trust. He's one of the most dependable, adaptable and effective colleagues with whom I've ever worked. Allen Austin and I are blessed to have him! Rob Andrews, Founder & CEO

I have been fortunate to work with Gary on several projects that Schlumberger has hired him for while working for both Holland & Davis and TBO. Gary’s professionalism, keen sense of business perspective, and ability to communicate to a wide variety of stakeholders provides high value to his clients who are transforming their business, their processes and their culture.
