Gary's Story
20 years ago, Gary's life unfolded in such a way that he wound up becoming a writer. Before that, he spent a decade in college, resulting in two pieces of paper: a B.A. in Music with concentration in composition and electro-acoustics; and an M.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies, a combo of music theory, new media art, and creative writing.

He is the author of The San Jose Earthquakes: A Seismic Soccer Legacy, (The History Press, 2015) and was recently a Steinbeck Fellow in Creative Writing at SJSU,.
