After graduating with a Bachelor in Science (Chemistry) and a Diploma in Education Gary started teaching in 1979 as a science teacher at Norseman District High School.

Gary was offered and accepted a position at AISWA in 2007.

Since 2013 Gary has been back as a consultant in the Registration and Compliance area where he works alongside Sarah Kennedy.
