Professional Background Other than a two-year stint in the US Military, selling Naperville area real estate has been Gary's lifelong profession. Gary started his real estate career with Coldwell Banker in 1982 when he was just 26 years old and was awarded National Rookie of the Year. Over the past forty-plus years, Gary has had many opportunities to grow within his chosen profession which includes the creation of his own full-service real estate company, Leavenworth Realty, from 2002 to 2015 before returning to Coldwell Banker. Personal Background Gary was born and raised in Plymouth, Michigan. Gary has been a resident of Naperville since the summer of 1978 when he met and later married his wife, Pam who is a Naperville native and also a Realtor with Coldwell Banker. Gary and Pam have two married children and four grandchildren. Gary personally contributes his success in real estate to his committed efforts to give back to the Naperville community with many civic organizations including serving three terms on Naperville Plan Commission where he took a leadership role in molding the greater Naperville community that we enjoy today. Serving on Naperville's Plan Commission for nearly a decade provided Gary with a very unique perspective of the community as a whole that most Realtors never gain which in turn is a great benefit to his clients and fellow Realtors alike. Currently, Gary serves on a local non-for-profit that provides affordable housing area to senior citizens called, Naperville Elderly Homes Inc. and enjoys guiding seniors and their families through the often challenging transition process from the joy of home ownership to a scaled-down condominium or assisted/independent living facility.
