He is a wealth of knowledge.... More

He also does Corporate Team Building events, so if you're a corporate event planner, you've just found someone to do the... More

We were fortunate enough to work with Gary to provide a fresh and exciting take on downtown Jacksonville for the leadership of our young professional organization. He delivered a fascinating account of Jacksonville's history in a way that inspired a group of Jacksonville native 20-somthings. We were truly in awe of the history, culture and beauty of our city and... More
