If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together. African Proverb
Gary's friend John grew up in the Congo, and John inherently knew this proverb to be true for survival in the African bush. Gary's was raised amidst corn fields in the Midwest and throughout his life has found this proverb to be true in most work environments from agriculture to manufacturing to ministry to healthcare.

Gary’s 30 years of experience was gained across multiple industries, including manufacturing, healthcare, construction, and agriculture, as well as ministries. The leadership class in Gary's MBA studies ignited a passion to understand leadership and its impact on people and organizations. Consequently Gary has devoted over 7000 hours in pursuit of that understanding and founded 2820 DTW, an authorized Crestcom International Partner.
As Gary’s daughter, Jill has had the benefit of being parented by a father passionate about servant leadership. Being a direct recipient of intentional leadership and a first-line subject of Gary’s mission to lead a family by Christ’s example, she has grown a deep appreciation, respect, and awareness of the impact effective leadership has when delivered with purpose.
Gary and Jill partner to deliver a significant and lasting experience for you and your employees. They desire to engage with your group not only to affect a healthy leadership culture at work, but at home as well, because we know that when 'a leader gets better, everyone wins’.
