Having been blessed with his own children, Gary is very active in the evenings and weekends in helping to lead teens and their families into a deeper relationship with Christ. Gary also serves on the Board of Directors for the Pregnancy Aid Clinic, and whenever he catches a free moment, you’ll find him playing the piano or relaxing in a comfortable chair with a good book.
