Gary Alipio

A New Orleans native and LSU graduate, Gary wears a lot of hats. He's an author, a digital marketer, a photographer, a SCBWI advisor, a fishing aquatic instructor, a teen chauffeur and a high school bass fishing coach. In 2019, his Craziest Fishing Tale on the Bayou represented Louisiana at the National Book Festival in Washington D.C. "Pretty cool," he says. You can find all his crazy tales at garyalipio dot com.

He likes to fish, bike, hike, jog, walk, swim, play video games and laugh often. Most definitely ... laugh often.

JOKE: What do you get when you cross a bear and a mountain lion? ... wait for it ... you get dead!
