Bio
John Nicholas
I worked with Garry for many years. We were both Regional Managers for the Northeast Region and, concurrently, both in the same metropolitan area as GM's in the Capital Society of Clubs. Garry was a terrific Regional Manager as well as holding down the fort at his home Club, The City Club of Washington, at the same time. I highly recommend Garry's leadership skills, P&L skills and overall business acumen.
Reid Badger
I have worked for Garry for seven years at the City Club of Washington. He has mentored me on many aspects of my job, without his support I would not be as well rounded or as solid of a manager as I am today. We had many difficult goals set in front of us over the past few years and he challenged all of his team to stay ahead of the curve and meet these challenges head on. Our club would not be as financially healthy today had Garry not been as competant and goal driven as he is.
