Gary has been a Human Resource professional for more than 25 years, working in both corporate America and in full-time ministry. Gary’s first love is recruiting and hiring, and he has done that successfully for two national organizations. Gary was the Human Resource Director for a national pizza chain, providing oversight of all Rocky Mountain Region personnel for nine years. Gary was then hired by a national men's ministry to launch their Human Resources department, and over the next fourteen years he provided oversight of all aspects of that function, hiring over 1000 staff. The ministry later experienced a decline in revenue, resulting in a series of layoffs which proved to be the genesis of Gary's call to equip and inspire men and women to regain employment and fulfillment. Gary founded Careers With A Purpose in 2009 to address the growing unemployment crisis in America. Over the last three years over 1000 people have attended a Careers With A Purpose event.
