“Gary is one of the sharpest creative minds I’ve ever worked with in the local news business. He respects the product and comes up with innovative ways to sell its value to our viewers and users. As a teammate, Gary was highly collaborative and a blast to work with on projects big and small. His positive energy is infectious. At WCNC, he was a key part of our turnaround team. Gary successfully re-positioned our news brand and helped us grow to challenge the long-time market leaders”

“I’ve rarely been able to work for someone with Gary’s talent and depth of experience. Luckily I’ve had two opportunities to work with him. Once as a producer at CBS 11 and again as a freelancer at NBC 5. Gary was almost always the first to arrive and last to leave the office. He is a leader who worked hard and earned the respect of his colleagues. He stays in step with emerging technologies and has a deep understanding of television marketing. I always felt that his creativity, business acumen and diligence were leading us in the right direction. Any company would be lucky to have Gary on their staff.” 

“Gary is the man. One of the smartest and most plugged-in people I’ve worked with in the media marketing business. He’s a voracious learner. His brain is wired for strategy. Always has an eye on the future. And he works his magic with authentic emotional intelligence. I’ve watched him collaborate with his team — the guy listens — then takes action. And on top of all that he’s a pretty stellar human being. The dude should have his own hashtag. #TeamGary”
