A native Floridian, Gary joined WebDevStudios in the summer of 2016, but he has been a WordPress user since the early 2000s. After attending his first WordCamp in 2015, he cleaned up a few of his own plugins and put them in the WordPress repository. Often dabbling in a side project to satisfy his own curiosity, Gary can be found attending and sometimes speaking at Florida WordCamps. Most recently, he volunteered as one of six organizers at WordCamp Jacksonville 2017.
