As Gary's mentor, he was always hard working, and has accomplished many obstacles that was against him. He is definitely the person that will not give up on any task at hand. He is also a great team player and a fast learner, n if doesnt understand sonething, hes not afraid to ask to gain a better understanding which shows hes always open to learning new things. I couldnt have asked for a better mentee or a better friend. Keep pushing=)
