I have had the opportunity to work with Gary through our entrepreneurship program at Batavia HS and he has taught our students AMAZING concepts in digital marketing! Gary is truly one of the best partners we have ever had at Batavia HS and his kindness, generosity, time and connections he has made with students has been a special addition for all our students.

Gary is simply the best. He goes above and beyond to bring clients creative solutions and goes the extra mile to troubleshoot when things aren’t working perfectly. That is rare for a web developer. It’s been such a joy working with and learning from him over the past five years. He always inspires me and teaches me something new. I’ve been incredibly grateful for our partnership.

Robert Hiebeler · Link The Dots
After we launched our new website and podcasts, I received very positive feedback from many people that I had not been in contact with for over 20 years. And these are people from my career that I really respected for their views and outlook. So, to hear from so many of them in this way was very special.
