Gary was born in Harare, Zimbabwe in 1976, and raised in England until immigrating to America with his parents in his late teens. 

​

After finishing high school in Turlock, California in 1994, Gary served in the US Navy from 1994 to 1997.  During this time, he received several awards and honors, including his membership in the exclusive Triple Threat company that achieved Hall of Fame status in Great Lakes, Illinois in 1994, to medals arising from his service in the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Strike in 1996.

​

Following his honorable discharge from the U.S. Navy, Gary entered college and worked as an investigator for a number of local law firms, providing in-depth investigation for hundreds of cases ranging from petty theft to murder.  His investigations during those years assisted in the dismissal of hundreds of cases.  

​

This background in investigation ultimately led Gary to change his aspirations from psychology to law. 

​

In law school, Gary was the recipient of Witkin awards in both Criminal Procedure and Advanced Research and Writing for academic excellence, and he gained accolades in both State and National Moot Court competitions.  He won 1st place in a Statewide collegiate debate competition, besting the top representatives of numerous colleges throughout California.  He also interned as a Federal Prosecutor, winning every trial he was assigned to.

​

​After passing the California Bar Examination in 2012, Gary immediately returned to the firm as an Attorney and brought back investigative insight, passion for the law, and has successfully litigated thousands of cases ranging from misdemeanors to extremely serious felonies over the past decades.  He brings a deep sense of empathy for clients and their families, and thrives on advocating on their behalf.

​

After 26 years of being an integral part of the firm since its very formation, Gary transited to the Senior Partner of the firm at the age of 49.  He still practices law on a daily basis defending the interests of all his clients.
