Gary grew up in Miami, Florida, casually writing unpublished stories. Carrying degrees in electronics and computer science, he worked in IT at Coca-Cola and at the Georgia DOT. He is a founding member and past director of the Georgia House Rabbit Society. With time split between writing, animal care, and life, the extra-class ham radio operator occasionally squeezes in a bit of ‘on the air’ time during radio contests or for ‘rag chews’.
