Gary recognises the massive shifts in the way we are thinking about how we interact with our planet. Adaptavate are leading the way in adapting and innovating natural and low carbon construction materials. It is the opportunities inherent in current cultural shifts, and mainstreaming the consumption of these construction materials, that motivated Gary to become an Adaptavator.

Outside of commercial commitments, Gary is a family man and a somewhat adventurous soul having hiked, biked, and tripped up on some of his pursuits. He runs a Kung fu and Tai chi academy weekly, and recently completed his MBA in 2022.
