Gary spent 30 years as a negotiator for the FBI, specializing in investigating hijackings with connections to the Middle East. After his retirement in 2003, Gary became a Senior Vice President with Control Risks, assisting clients in investigating overseas kidnapping incidents. He has been invited to appear in many documentaries relating to terrorism, hostage negotiations, and kidnapping. Part of his book “Stalling For Time: My Life As An FBI Hostage Negotiator” was adapted into“Waco, the critically acclaimed Paramount network TV series and rumor has it, Gary has another on the way!

Upon Aram’s invitation, Gary lectured at West Point in 2011, receiving a positive reception from the cadets, who found Gary’s negotiation stories highly relevant to their learning. On his part, Gary found it commendable that the country’s premiere military institute had prioritized devoting time and energy to inculcate strong communication skills in stressful situations to the next generation of military leaders.
