Gary was raised in the Empire State and has drifted all over the US in search of ’something’ that just may not exist. He began racing bikes in ‘84. He only enters a race if he thinks he can win or potentially punish the favorite (even for 1-lap). He has drifted in and out of the race scene over the last decade to pursue other endeavors. Such as, starting his own landscape construction company, searching for the perfect powder run, chasing the wind and redefining modern-day parenting. When not breaking rocks in the hot sun, Gary can be found slashing through the local park with his daughter Samantha strapped in a 5-point harness yelling for him to keep it in the Big Ring. He relaxes by listening to Black Flag, GBH and Fear. He prefers CX to other forms of bike racing..for obvious reasons.
