Gary was born and raised in that country music Mecca-Tulsa, Oklahoma-long, long ago. He attended Oklahoma State University so naturally he is a huge OSU Cowboys football and basketball fan. He shares his alma mater with Garth Brooks but that's where the similarities end.
Gary's favorite current artists are Montgomery Gentry, Gary Allan and Sara Evans. His all-time favorite country artist is Patsy Cline.
His radio background includes all types of music formats in Tulsa, St. Louis and Dallas. He is a video poker freak, so it's a good thing online casino gambling isn't legal.
