Gary Minor
Three decades of service. A personal approach to learning.
Gary is a retired police lieutenant with 30 years of law-enforcement experience across patrol, investigations, supervision, leadership, and officer training. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Career and Technical Education.
After suffering a stroke in 2019, Gary had to rebuild many skills. That experience strengthened his patience and empathy for anyone facing uncertainty, discomfort, or fear of getting something wrong.
Today, he brings that perspective to every class: explain clearly, practice responsibly, and help each student progress at a pace that works for them.
