As a pastor, author, speaker, coach, trainer, and executive leader, he brings a unique focus to mobilizing and mentoring leaders in the mission of Jesus.

With over three decades of experience in church planting, Gary has been instrumental in launching over 200 new churches and training countless church planters and pastors, both nationally and internationally. Founding White Stone Community Church in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, in 1988, he later ventured into resource and consulting ministry with Your Journey Resources, crafting reproducible evangelistic and discipleship materials. His spiritual conversation tool, The Spiritual Journey Guide, has reached millions, alongside his portfolio of 17 books and seven eBooks. Transitioning to a broader scope, Gary took on the role of Director of Church Planting for Converge MidAmerica in 1998 and later assumed the presidency in 2010. Under his leadership, Converge MidAmerica has burgeoned from 125 to 850 churches, now known as Converge MSC (MidAmerica, Southeast, Caribbean).

Today, Gary spearheads AXELERATE, a multi-denominational initiative that provides executive coaching and training for national and regional denominational leaders in areas such as evangelism, discipleship, church planting, and church revitalization. To date, AXELERATE has impacted over 40 denominations and networks, which collectively are influencing over 36,000 churches. His driving vision remains steadfast: ensuring no leader journeys alone. Gary and his wife, Mary, reside in the suburbs of Chicago, IL, where they cherish time with their three grown children and three grandchildren.
