Gary Puckett

Biography and Experience

As a young boy, Gary exhibited extraordinary curiosity and 

energy. At the age of ten, he 

and his friends created an 

elaborate seven-room camp. It 

was a very functional 

underground cavernous 

wonder with interconnecting 

tunnels and sidewall seating.

Tackling difficult, unusual, 

innovative, and challenging 

projects has always been a way 

of life for Gary.

Tenacious is the best description for Gary

as a certified and

registered Tae Kwon Do Black Belt instructor 

for the prestigious Song Moo Kwan organization based in South Korea.

He brings focus and intensity to every presentation he

delivers.

At the age of eighteen, Gary had never seen an ocean. 

Without a car of his own, his bicycle had always been his 

primary transportation. He was about to graduate from high 

school and somehow knew as he and his friends embarked 

on the pursuit of their respective futures, they would not be 

seeing as much of each other. He approached his friends 

with an idea for a final “high school experience” together. 

Soon thereafter they peddled out of town on a ten-day, 760-

mile adventure that carried them to the Atlantic Ocean at 

Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

On their trip, they encountered many generous and helpful 

people who offered them everything from directions to free

meals. The trio also came across some strange and 

dangerous characters.

Gary states, “Life presents you with a wide variety of circumstances requiring decisions. The goal is to learn how 

to make good choices.”

Gary acquired and fine-

tuned his presentation and speaking skills as a stage 

and character actor and trainer for nearly twenty-years. His ability to deliver an effective message is based in his 

unique collection of skills.

It has been said before: 

Almost anyone can give a 

speech, but only a rare few

can build strong empathy 

with an audience.

After completing four years of 

business school, majoring in 

accounting and finance, 

Gary worked in the application software industry. His interest 

became focused on the 

information management 

While working for ESI Corporation in the application software 

industry, Gary gained extensive experience within the medical and 

direct patient-care marketplace. He gradually began to realize just 

how “untapped” the other non-profit human services segments of 

the market really were.

He and a business partner formed a new company and immediately 

started targeting this untouched national potential.

Traveling and working throughout the United States, in and out of 

human service agencies every day, taught him more about another 

one of his driving passions – helping people!

After fourteen years of success in serving this niche market within 

the software development industry, he decided to pursue yet 

another strong passion – teaching people how to maximize their 

personal potential.

Gary is a “Life-Success Strategist” with a  unique ability to deliver compelling presentations.
