Fred Garry has a lot to share because he’s an explorer. He’s traveled the world and lived in central Africa; he’s a voracious reader with a love for banned books, he’s a writer who’s authored a dozen titles, he’s an aspiring chef, a trail guide, an audiophile, a pop-culture fan. 

But most of all, Fred is a seeker.

I think of Fred Garry as a kung fu master -- you know, the Bruce Lee “Enter the Dragon” type, the one who speaks in metaphors, opens doors with skilled hands and an enlightened mind. For me, Fred inspires two things I value a great deal … one is calm, the other is hopefulness -- hopefulness that not only are things going to be OK, but that I can play a part in making them that way.
Meet the man who dedicated himself to helping people live their best life and find out who helped him … get so darn good at it.
