“Gary is the man. One of the smartest and most plugged-in people I’ve worked with in the media marketing business. He’s a voracious learner. His brain is wired for strategy. Always has an eye on the future. And he works his magic with authentic emotional intelligence. I’ve watched him collaborate with his team — the guy listens — then takes action. And on top of all that he’s a pretty stellar human being. The dude should have his own hashtag. #TeamGary”

Gary’s brilliance is evident in his product.

Look at the image campaign for NBC5 in Dallas – ask any Texan about “Texas Connects Us” or “Storm Ranger” and they’ll either start singing the jingle or tell you about how much they love David Finfrock or Rick Mitchell.

He’s taken a station that was already rooted in legacy and reinvented for a 21st-century audience.

He has vision, insight, genuis and the skill to execute. He’s an asset to any team.

“Very few people understand the promotion and marketing process from top to bottom like Gary. From conception through all phases of production, his spots and campaigns were creative, dynamic and on-the-mark. As a manager, he always led with an even hand and calm demeanor and served as a great coach for the producers and artists he supervised.”
