Gary's Story

Life I'm now 54 years old, married 22 years and have two sons, 25 & 16 and a daughter, 14 going on 30! Live in Florissant, MO and have a "barn full" of animals including: dog, cats, ferrets, fish, a noisy parakeet and about a million small mice (caged of course!)

College Gary hasn't written his college bio because he was stupid!!! Workplace I started out washing dishes at Valenti's Restaurant in Dellwood. From there I worked at Burger Chef at West Florissant and on Chambers Road and eventually wound up as an Assistant Manager at various Burger Chefs in the city. Got fed up flipping burgers and enlisted in the Air Force for six years. Came Back to St. Louis and worked as a repair technician for Alltronics and Audionics before repairing equipment on my own. I switched gears in 1999 and got my real estate license and I am currently a Licensed Realtor for Coldwell Banker Gundaker. Military Enlisted in the Air Force in 1974 and served through 1980.
