Gary was only 8 years old when he started square dancing back in 1984. During his first lessons he decided then, that he wanted to become a Square Dance Caller and so in 1986 Murray Few started teaching Gary the basic techniques of Square Dance Calling. Gary has attended several caller schools in Canada and the USA, most recently a GSI school with Tony Oxendine and Jerry Jestin.

Over the years Gary has been a club caller for 9 different Square Dance Clubs, and has traveled throughout Western Canada, Western USA, Germany and Austria calling weekend specials and festivals as well as several Provincial, National and World Conventions. He currently is the Club Caller for West Edmonton Promenaders & Crossfire Plus in his home town, Edmonton
