I actually knew his brother AJ first. We sat next to each other at a Seton Hall basketball game, and years later, when I left SITO Mobile, AJ asked if I’d ever met Gary. Over dinner Gary asked me to describe what I do in one sentence, and I said I take dreams and visions and turn them into action plans. He told me he wanted to build a $500 million integrated, independent, international communications company and asked if I could help, and I said yes.
