When Gary isn't blissfully pounding away on a keyboard, he's enjoying the natural world with his family. You can find him setting off on multi-day muscle-powered adventures, coaxing more Ohio native plants to take over his yard, fiddling with hot compost ratios, or taking power naps in obscure natural settings. His current infatuation is rigging a sea kayak for upwind sailing. Gary lives with his wife and two children in their homegrown national park, Kettering, OH.
