As the landlord engagement coordinator with the YWCA, Gary works with landlords in the community to house tenants who are on subsidized housing. Building relationships with landlords and providing support to ensure that the tenant-landlord relationship is successful is a key part of his role. He strives to ensure that everyone feels heard and valued while going above and beyond to advocate for tenants and helping them find a home. Before joining the YWCA, Gary served in the U.S. Navy as a Culinary Specialist for over 10 years. During his service, he developed a passion for helping others, which still drives his work today. As a seasoned property manager and Realtor, he brings a unique combination of skills and experience to the housing industry.
Gary holds a Master’s Degree in Human Resources and a BA in Organizational Leadership. He enjoys spending time with family, photography, and traveling.
