He has been a practicing attorney for thirty years after serving in the United States Navy in the Vietnam War. A descendant of early Colorado settlers, Gary is proud of his agricultural heritage and his degree in Agricultural Business, which he received from Colorado State University in 1964. His grandfather cultivated his interest in archaeology by taking him arrowhead hunting in the early 1950s after his first visit to the Loveland Stone Age Fair. Gary has been a history buff and collector of interesting items for most of his life. In addition to stone artifacts, he also collects farm toys, pencils and pens, and various other nostalgic memorabilia. He also has played finger-style guitar for many years. He has had a longtime association with the Loveland Archaeological Society and has served as chairman of the annual Loveland Stone Age Fair for many years. Despite all of his extracurricular activities, he still enjoys his family and family activities most of all. Gary and his wife, Sue, live on rural acreage in Colorado, not far from their daughter, Debbie, and her family.
