Gary helps clients navigate energy and environmental regulatory matters. He began his career with Michael Best first as a summer associate and then as a law clerk, and joined the firm as an associate after earning his law degree from the George Mason University Antonin Scalia Law School.

While pursuing his J.D., Gary was a legal intern at American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers. In that position, he researched environmental and industrial regulatory issues, drafted analytical memoranda for case preparation, and supported ongoing litigation.
