In July of 2005, Gary formed TBAB (To Be A Blessing) Healthcare Services. TBAB has grown to offer services in homecare, institutions and hospitals with a staff of over 200 Nurses and Caregivers and annualized revenue of over $6 million.

Gary’s purpose in life is to be a blessing, reduce fear, and promote peace of mind with whom all he encounters, and he is blessed to be able to work at this to the best of his ability every day.Specialties: Trailblazer who leaves a trail, Problem Solver, Mentor, Career Catapulter
