Gary's Story
For those of you who I have not kept in touch with, I never did enjoy living in Southern California and left there right after High School. After a couple of years in Phoenix, AZ, I moved to Reno, NV for the next 20 years. After getting a degree in Manufacturing Engineering and Business Management, I worked for several Manufacturing Companies, including 10 years at Black & Decker. Reno eventually outgrew my tastes, and I moved to Montana in 2002 and am now living on the Flathead Lake in Polson, MT. It¿s one of the most spectacular places to live for sure. My wife Jody and I have three teenagers, Megan, John and Steven, Megan graduates June 2009. I also have a son from a previous marriage, still living in Reno, Eric is 23 now. I currently work for the Jore Corporation which makes drill bits, screwdriver bits, tool sets, etc for Lowes, Home Depot and Sears Craftsman. Jody has her own ins...Expand for more
urance business and primarily sells Aflac insurance.
We love living in an area where the great outdoors is so easily accessible, although we are often too busy to enjoy it. Our kids are involved in sports, music, and church ministry, which keeps us all very busy. In addition, I umpire for HS Softball and Baseball from March through July. Our primary focus at this point in our lives is church ministry. Jody and I are both Staff Members for our youth group in Polson. We have over 100 teens attending our Wednesday night service, not bad for a town of only 6,000. I have worked with at risk youth and those with substance abuse problems for the last 7 years or so. Jody is also very involved in the women¿s ministry and leads various bible studies through out the year. She is amazing! Life has been good and I have been blessed with an awesome family. That brings you up to date, April 2009.
