Team

Gary

  • Age: 52

  • Connection to your teammate: Best Friends/Substitute Teachers
  • Current occupation: Substitute Teacher
  • Describe what you do: I try to instill my students with a love of learning and prepare them for a satisfying life, encouraging them to help those less fortunate than themselves, and impress upon them it is not always what a person has for themselves, but what a person gives of themselves that’s important.
  • Favorite hobbies: Biking, playing guitar and working around the house.
  • 3 words to describe you: Intelligent, funny and excitable.
  • What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? Riding in the Make-A-Wish 300 mile bike ride. I was 275 lbs. and out of shape but I worked very hard to do the ride and was able to meet my “wish child” at the end. It was truly amazing.
  • What famous person reminds you of yourself? John Lennon
  • What famous person reminds you of your teammate? Napoleon, Will has his complex
  • What scares you most about traveling? Bad taxi drivers.
  • What excites you most about traveling? Seeing how other people live.
  • Biggest challenge you and your teammate will face on The Race together: Will needs to slow down his speech and clearly state his opinions and ideas. He tends to interrupt and lose his focus.
  • Pet peeve about your teammate: Will and his iPhone – I believe he thinks he invented it! Also, he is very cocky.
  • What country and place would you most like to visit and why? Russia – I would love to experience the culture. They were once our bitter enemies, and now they are our friends.
  • What do you hope to accomplish by running The Race (other than winning one million bucks)? I want Will to learn how to work 100% in a partnership instead of being a lone wolf.

Memorable Moments
