Gary always loved a good story. He spent his formative years growing up on the site of a World War Two battlefield, where he shook hands with a King and a President. Inspired by comic books and classic Hollywood cinema, he married his interest in historical fiction with Ancestry.com to re-imagine the family tree as an outline for a story. He is a direct descendant of Margaret Laemmer from his novel, “Margaret’s Last Prayer”. He is a graduate of the University of Baltimore and a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard. Gary began writing in 2016, and lives in Milwaukie, Oregon with his wife, two children, and two dogs. You can hear him spinning Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline records on KBOO.fm every 5th Saturday from 6:00 - 9:00 am PST.
