Today's Featured Biography

 
Gary Wagnon

I attended Louisiana Tech and graduated in 1976 with a Bachelors in Business Administration. The highlight of my time at Tech was the blind date I had with Nancy Anderson in the fall of 1974. I graduated in May of 76 and we got married a couple of weeks later.

We spent 18 years in El Do, working at Garretts Furniture, and raising our 3 kids. But times changed and in 1995 we moved to Tucson, Arizona. I spent a couple of years working in the furniture industry, traveling as a consultant and also managing a large store.

After leaving the furniture business and getting tired of living out of a suitcase as a management consultant, I went to work for a website design company, 800biz.com, as the sales manager. A year later, the owners wanted to pursue other ventures and sold me the company in 2001. I have expanded 800biz into a comprehensive online marketing company that includes social media, search engine marketing and website designs.

Our oldest son, Christopher, graduated from the University of Arizona and now lives in Phoenix where he is the morning DJ on a country station. Allen, our middle child, is a chef at a local restaurant. Lauren is the "baby" of the family. She is a full time mom as well as a LuLaRoe Fashion Consultant with Nancy.

We have 3 beautiful, energetic grand kids, 2 in Phoenix and 1 here in Tucson.

When we are not working or playing with grand kids, we enjoy floating in the pool with a glass of wine.

While we miss the South, we love living in the desert with the mountains views from our windows and the brutal 72 degree winters.
