Gary grew up in the Southeastern United States and has spent much of his life climbing and exploring the world, including over 35 trips to the Himalayas. He is active in his local community and is known throughout the world for his passion for exploration.
Gary lost the use of his arm in a mountaineering accident just as he had found his life's passion: alpine climbing. He stunned a medical team at Duke University by asking to have his paralyzed arm amputated. After serious introspection, Gary began climbing again, surmounting the barriers that stood in the way of realizing his dreams to explore. He has inspired others ever since to continue onward and upward.
His down-to-earth speaking style reaches into the souls of his audience as he tells how his experiences have shaped his philosophy of “Anything is Possible”. He encourages others to look deep into themselves, motivating them to set goals to maximize their potential, placing fear and doubts aside and pushing through the barriers to success in business and in life.
His images, stories and affable nature inspire others to look deep within to accomplish more in all areas of life. Gary speaks from his heart about what he has learned over the past 20 years of adventures. He has certainly earned the right. From an early age, Gary has inspired countless people to achieve their maximum potential and to pursue their dreams and goals. He has challenged both children and adults to reach beyond what they perceive as their limitations and to succeed.
