| Gary was born and raised in south-central Ohio. He and his family moved |
| to Tennessee from the Columbus area in 1989 to join Acappella Ministries. |
| "My wife Debbie has been the greatest source of encouragement and |
| support to me! I have the most wonderful kids in the world (Nathan, Ellie, |
| and Gretchen- and her soldier husband Josh Lewis - currently serving our |
nation in Iraq). They are devoted Christians and very much involved in |
| Christian music." |
| |
| Gary was raised in a musical family -- his parents, grandfather, and some |
| aunts and uncles were professional musicians. "My dad has been a great |
| musical inspiration to me. He is a very accomplished musician and luthier. |
| My folks taught me [to play] guitar when I was very young. The guitar has |
| been such a blessing and source of tranquility for me through the years." |
