Although he has spent many years working in traditional agencies, Gary became frustrated at the lack of vision that often accompanies established ad agencies. He found that what he really wanted to do was lead a digital marketing team in a small, smart, innovative interactive marketing agency. DMIdeas is the type of innovative and fast moving company that Gary felt he was looking for. They are small enough to be responsive, have their finger on the pulse of emerging technology, and are willing to invest time and energy in researching which methods will have the greatest impact for their clients. This "one size does not fit all" ethic is what drew him to this company.

He attended Pepperdine University , Art Center College of Design, and California State University Long Beach. He brings to DMIdeas the type of knowledge that will help your company succeed.
