Gary has been in the boating community all his life, helping his father with the family marina and building boats as a pastime. He has offshore certification from the Canadian Yachting Association and has skippered several blue water yacht deliveries. He is past Commodore of the Fairport Yacht Club, Ontario, and has been active in the Ontario sailboat racing circuit for years. Gary is a certified N.A.U.I. scuba diver.
