“Gary was simply the best person I have ever worked with in regards to the level of highly personal service in the industry, He was my go to person when it came to our VIP’s or high profile guests. Gary took a very personal approach to every guest not only at our business but within the community and outside our 4 walls. I often use Gary as a Gold Standard when I train nationally, as well as when I am training our crew at Live Nation; I use Gary as an example of how one person can change an experience. He simply is the Best” July 13, 2010

“I have known Gary over ten years. During that time I was repeatedly impressed with his consummate professionalism as a VIP HOST. In that capacity, Gary was extremely adept at handling the “politics of Hollywood” and is as equally at ease with an A-List celebrity or multi-millionaire as with the man on the street. He has a unique ability to make everyone feel like he/she is the most important person on the planet, as well as being able to diffuse difficult situations. I have also observed Gary as he moved up in his career into management. He is very much attuned to the guest experience and also handles his employees very wI highly recommend Gary for any position he may be seeking. Thank you.” July 9, 2010
