Gary studied Political Science and Mathematics at the University of Nebraska and has over 10 years of experience working in the process analytics market. Gary has managed several Total Organic Carbon Analyzer projects for OI.

One such project was the Total Organic Carbon Analyzer (TOCA) for use in the International Space Station. The successful culmination of that project came on November 14, 2008, with NASA's launch of the Space Shuttle Endeavor carrying the TOCA for installation in the water recycling system on board the space station.
