“I have seen Gary involved in meetins where tension was strong and tempers flared – but I’ve never seen him lose his cool. I have seen him faced with multiple new ideas at one time – and remain open to each one. I have seen him express an opinion, be contradicted, and respond with a smile… He is a good listener, yet he can express himself articulately. He has good ideas of his own, yet his open to those of others. He is kind. He is fun. He is warmly personable. And he is very good at what he does.”
