You can watch his own episode titled "Set Your Goals, or Someone Else Will" in season 3 of the TV series SpeakUp On Amazon Prime Video. Gary started his career by enlisting in the Navy right after graduating high school. During one of his initial Navy training classes, a Master Chief guest speaker explained the wealth generation strategy of purchasing a house at each duty station. It was this advice which led Gary to understand the true value of passive income after steadily purchasing multiple properties throughout the United States and Internationally. Gary continued his career by receiving a scholarship where he graduated with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and was commissioned as a Naval Officer. After leaving the Navy, Gary continued as a licensed professional engineer leading design and analysis projects for several nuclear power plants before deciding to expand the passive income strategy that was previously a hobby. Gary spent the next several years building and managing a multi-state real estate portfolio as well as several additional acquisitions of financial services companies. Gary is also serving as an advisor to several businesses for growth and exit planning.
