Gary first started baseball with the Canterbury Bankstown Vikings as a young tee baller and and is still active with the club.
In 1986 Gary signed a professional contract with the Philadelphia Phillies and played with them through to 1989. In 1988 the Phillies won the South Atlantic League Championship.
Gary was part of the bronze medal Australian Team in the 1997 Intercontinental Cup in Barcelona and was also named ’1997 All-World Catcher’.
He also played in the 1999 Intercontinental Cup in Sydney with the gold medal winning Australian team in which he hit in the winning run in the 11 innings final.
He was a member of the Sydney Blues/Storm during the 10 year history of the Australian National League.
He was such a force with the New South Wales Patriots that when he announced his retirement from representative baseball in 2005 his trade mark ‘number 15′ state uniform was also retired and presented to him.
