» Gary is exceptionally gifted at crafting narratives that would not be out of place in a bestselling novel. He has a talent for making drama that is the right mix between believable and entertaining. Though he also has a talent for dialogue, he never writes alone. Wherever possible, he brings the wrestler or wrestlers in question in and, with their input, creates promos that feel unique to every performer. After all, nobody knows a wrestler's character better than the wrestler in question.

[b]|[u]Reason for being here     [/u]|[/b]
» After graduation from college with a degree in creative writing, he looked for work. For several years he drifted between jobs he did not enjoy. He was a newspaper columnist, then a journalist, then he tried to break into the world of screenwriting but had no success. All the while he engaged in his real raison d'être, writing novels, and of the few that got published, none of them were successful enough to change his life, or do much more than pay a couple of bills for another few months.

Six months ago he got a call from Kevin Harrison, one of his college friends from the creative writing course, who had a high paying and creatively fulfilling job for him; being on the writing team for the biggest wrestling company in the country! Gary had been a fan of wrestling as a child. Most children he grew up with had. He lost touch with it during his teens but to be one of the people in charge of creating the kind of stories that used to hook him as a child, the kind of stories that may have been one of the things to insire him to write, was a dream come true! He naturally immediately accepted.

» Gary practically never gets involved with anything on-screen. That being said he always wears a shirt and suit trousers to work, and always seems to have a plastic coffee cup or porcelain mug glued to his left hand. He's a big coffee drinker.

» Gary, though talented and creative, is not used to a job this intense, and so is never seen without coffee in his hand. He is practically fueled by it. Another side effect of this lack of experience in such an industry is that he will take his holiday hours the moment he accumulates them, though this has not earned him heat as even when he's on holiday, he maintains an online correspondence with the rest of the writing team and still gives input, feedback and ideas. Really, he never stops working. Even when he's at home, he's thinking about the booking. He dreams about wrestling. It's his life now.

» Gary does not play favourites. Ever.

[b]|[u]Rep at AWE    [/u]|[/b]
» Gary is not the universally loved saviour of the writing team that Kevin is, but he still has a good rep with many of the wrestlers. The process of letting the performers have a hand in writing their promos is a very nice touch. Though they don't have complete control and very rarely get permission to improvise, Gary's method is greatly preferred to the old days when everybody had to repeat the given script word for word, and thus, every face sounded the same, and every heel sounded the same, barring catchphrases and some performers just being naturally talented enough to make it work and others not.
