A Little More About Gary’s Story

At just a few weeks old, Gary began dealing with the excruciating and limiting effects of Brittle Bone Disease. The disease left him susceptible to constant fractures, which led to long stays in the hospital in a body cast or painful traction. His parents were told that he wouldn’t live…and one doctor advised them to institutionalize him and get on with their lives. Undaunted and determined, Gary’s parents refused to believe the naysayers…and Gary’s never-say-never attitude took root.

One day, frustrated with watching the neighborhood kids from his perch at the front window of his home, Gary determined to join in the fun on the block. He devised a way to propel himself forward with his hands, on his belly on a flat wooden platform with wheels. In time, Gary was given a wheelchair. But wheeling along was not enough for him…Soon he was competing with the best of them, playing basketball from his chair and eventually joining and winning statewide competitions. While excelling in basketball, Gary discovered the love and freedom of ultimate speed and became ranked #3 in the country as a top wheelchair miler.

He went on to own one of the longest-running, most successful health and fitness clubs in the country, along with a CrossFit facility, a Speed School for youth athletic performance, and a Fit Body BootCamp franchise. His 43-year run in that industry led him to understand and master how to hire, employ, train, motivate and elevate thousands of employees, clients and fellow small and mid-sized business owners.

You name it, Gary has most likely faced it – Physical pain and limitations, emotional setbacks, 100 broken bones, car accidents, bankruptcy, divorce, loss after loss. Rather than let these obstacles stand in his way, Gary has learned to overcome, to live victoriously no matter what. He can’t wait to encourage, inspire, and empower you!
