Gary played on 6 Canadian Men’s teams winning gold at the 1995 Panam Games for both singles and team and reached #1 in the world in Men’s hardball in 1992. Notably, Gary was the first Canadian to reach #12 (in 1993) in the world in softball singles on the PSA – paving the way for the next wave of Canadian men.  Before retiring in 2008 Gary had won 13 National titles, 7 World Doubles titles and well over 100 professional doubles titles.
