Gary has 45 years of aviation experience all in the private sector. During his career, he engaged in airport project management for all aspects of airport planning and environmental studies, including airport master planning/aviation activity forecasting and on-call planning for airports in the U.S. and internationally, airport land use planning, feasibility and site selection studies, airport system planning, and virtually every type of aviation-oriented planning study. 

In the first part of his career, Gary worked on planning and environmental studies pertaining to siting new airports, airport system plan projects, as well as small- and non-hub airport master plans. For the last 25-years, his focus has been on small, medium, and large hub airport master plans, including aviation activity forecasts and land use planning. His experiences include several long-term on-call planning assignments, including embedment with the Houston Airport System planning staff for six years. The most recent aviation activity forecast he developed was for a medium hub airport post-COVID-19. 

Gary’s career having spanned the modern aviation industry since deregulation, he brings the institutional knowledge of the aviation industry and recognition of the uniqueness of each airport to his planning work. Ever one to be looking to the future, his recent airport master planning efforts discussed the future implications for the hybrid and electric aircraft/fuels to airport land use planning. 

Gary has worked on aviation planning projects in all nine FAA regions, Canada, Central America, South America, Asia, and Oceania.
