Gary, a Nashville native, has been an integral part of the city's residential construction landscape since 1986. With a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Middle Tennessee State University, obtained in 1982, Gary's academic background laid the foundation for his illustrious career in home building. His journey into construction was inspired and supported by his grandfather, a skilled electrician and self-taught carpenter, which led Gary to become a licensed general contractor with a focus on residential projects.

Before venturing into building homes for the public, Gary honed his skills by constructing three personal homes, immersing himself in every facet of the building process. This hands-on experience was crucial in developing his comprehensive understanding of residential construction.

Gary launched his professional career with Equity Homes, LLC, where he built a diverse portfolio of both spec and custom homes across Davidson, Wilson, and Robertson counties until 2009. During a significant period of this time, he also contributed his expertise to Quality Plus Homes, LLC, managing the construction of up to 14 custom homes simultaneously. Throughout his tenure with Equity Homes, LLC, and Quality Plus Homes, LLC, Gary played a pivotal role in the creation of over 150 homes, with project values ranging from $125,000 to over $500,000.

In 2013, Gary expanded his professional repertoire by becoming a partner in Three Boys Consulting, LLC. This venture saw him engaging in both residential and commercial projects, including a notable 3,000-square-foot custom home in Cross Plains, TN, various spec homes, and a 17,000-square-foot commercial warehouse in White House, TN, among other significant projects.

January 2015 marked a significant milestone in Gary's career as he co-founded Orca Building Group LLC, taking on the role of President of Construction. In this capacity, Gary's vast experience and deep knowledge of the construction industry have been vital to Orca's success. He is tasked with the management and oversight of all construction projects, ensuring that each home is built to the highest standards of quality and delivered on schedule, further cementing Orca Building Group LLC's reputation for excellence in the construction sector.
