Gary is our Lead Engineer.
Gary and Nick (who founded MBS in 1986) first met while serving together on their church’s worship team in the early 1990s! Gary plays bass (he’s very good), and Nick plays rhythm guitar. Gary was taking network classes at a local college while supporting his employer’s network, so Nick invited him to see networking from a different perspective. Gary was excited to see that he could help ministries build The Kingdom with his otherwise secular skills. He joined the team in 1995.
