About Gary
Local Roots. Real Responsibility.
Gary has built his life in the 101st District —
not in Lansing.
He and his wife Pam have been married for 45 years. Together, they raised two children and are proud grandparents to two grandchildren. Family isn’t a campaign talking point for Gary — it’s the foundation for everything he does.
In 2001, Gary founded Great Lakes Allied, a family-owned business in Fremont and moved it to White Cloud in 2007. Serving customers domestically and internationally. What started in a small West Michigan town has grown into a respected company serving customers across Michigan and beyond. From day one, Gary’s focus has been simple: customer service, accountability, and doing things the right way.
Experience that shapes his approach to Lansing
Running a business taught Gary lessons that Lansing desperately needs:
- You can’t spend money you don’t have
- You don’t succeed without listening
- Results matter more than excuses
Gary isn’t running to climb a political ladder. He’s running because he’s concerned about the direction Michigan is heading — higher taxes, growing bureaucracy, and decisions being made far from the communities they affect.
Gary believes State Representatives should be citizen-legislators: grounded in real life, accessible to voters, and accountable to the people who elect them. He is ready to bring practical experience, conservative values, and a steady hand to Lansing — on behalf of the district he’s proud to call home.
