Gary is the man who served it all—not the one who’s simply seen it all. A true customer service survivor, he began working shifts at just 16 years old. He’s been part of the madness while mastering the art of the hustle. Though he can’t dance the Hustle, he was alive when the single hit the charts. Gary’s journey is rooted in real-world experience, where he has learned the ropes, survived the chaos, and thrived.
