​References

• “Gary is an Asset Multiplier.  He is a Master of his Craft who can effectively impart his knowledge into those around him. He makes his team better. I've seen him educate clients and co-workers (myself included) on matters touching equipment, storage, materials, installations, graphic design, finishing, color theory etc..... He has the knack and patience to put whatever information he is transmitting in the most accessible form to his audience at the time. Having him on a team is like having a living, producing, reference manual. He is a perfectionist who does not negotiate quality. One of the most humble people I've ever met. A pleasure to work with. Always professional, courteous ... a nice guy.”
