Gary was born and raised in Ketchikan, Alaska. He moved to Abilene, Texas in 1988 to attend college and has lived there since. Raised in traditional Christianity, Gary was never satisfied with conventional book answers to the deep questions that burned within.
After years of misguided searching, Gary began to surrender to the process of life. An awareness began to unfold that everything that was needed would be provided in a way that was natural. No great struggle was required, only attention and surrender. Through experiences of dreams and revelations, he discovered he was the very life he was looking for.
