BIOGRAPHY Gary is the managing editor at Casino City Press and the GPWA and has more than 20 years experience as a writer and editor. A member of the inaugural Poker Hall of Fame Media Committee, Gary enjoys playing poker and blackjack, but spends most of his time sitting in the comfy confines of the sportsbook when in Las Vegas.
