Gary grew up in Weiser, Idaho, where he graduated from Weiser High School in 1974.

He was known for being a die hard Packers fan nearly all of his life. Gary settled with his family in Payette, Idaho, where he started working for May Trucking Company. He eventually transferred to the May Trucking in Brooks, Oregon. Upon his transfer, he settled in in Salem, Oregon with his family, where he and his wife raised their two daughters. While raising his daughters, Gary continued his love for baseball by being involved in his daughters passion for softball. Gary had another love, one of his best friends, his dog named Sam, who was a loyal companion to Gary for many many years, and then also to his daughters after they were born. He never forgot and always missed her. Gary continued to work for May Trucking for 30 years before retiring in 2019.
