My career spans over 25 years of corporate leadership experience where I have mastered the art of transforming operational inefficiencies into scalable profit engines. My expertise spans strategic sales, marketing, and team building across diverse industries, from tech solutions to service-oriented enterprises.

Founding Vision

In 2024, I launched Prairie Growth Solutions LLC to empower business owners burdened by operational chaos. My mission is to equip business owners with systems to amplify revenue without increasing marketing spend, turning uncertainty into strategic control.

Revenue feeds the ego but, Profits feed your family.

  • Profit Acceleration Framework: A 5-pillar system (Foundations, Leads, Conversions, Transactions, Profits) merging Fortune 500 rigor with agile execution.
  • Published Authority: Author of “The Strategic Leader: A Guide for Business Growth, distilling.” enterprise-level insights into actionable steps.

Guiding Philosophy

“Growth isn’t a metric—it’s the oxygen of enduring success.”
Gary’s approach prioritizes sustainable profit ecosystems over short-term fixes, helping clients outpace competitors through strategic moats.

Community & Mentorship

A dedicated mentor through The Executives’ Club, Gary bridges corporate wisdom with grassroots innovation, fostering leadership in emerging entrepreneurs.

Let’s Redesign Your Profit Ecosystem:

“We don’t chase trends—we engineer control points that make competitors irrelevant.”
“Our clients don’t just grow—they dominate.”

Gary and his wife, Becky, live in West Fargo and have three grown children and two grandchildren. An interesting fact is that all three of Gary and Beck’s children work in emergency medicine.

THANK YOU.
